TONY: The Summer That Created an Icon
Directed by Matt Johnson (BlackBerry) and starring breakout talent Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers)
A 19 year old Anthony Bourdain, drops viewers straight into the sweaty, high-adrenaline chaos of a Cape Cod restaurant kitchen during one fateful summer in Provincetown.
After missing out on a writing fellowship, Tony takes a desperate job as a dishwasher, stumbling headfirst into an eccentric, unfiltered world run by a fiery restaurateur played by Antonio Banderas.
Eschewing a standard, sugar-coated Hollywood formula, Tony delivers a raw, funny, and electric coming-of-age story about a self-destructive young man getting the reality check—and the profound culinary awakening—he desperately needed. It is the gritty, unfiltered origin story of a legend finding his fire right on the edge of failure.
For a closer look at the high-energy chaos and Dominic Sessa's transformation into a rebellious young Bourdain check out the trailer.
