On April 19th I had an opportunity to show my film “Sauce is Very Peaceful: Curtis’ Coney Island Famous Weiners” at the 6th Ethnografilm Festival in Paris. The film was produced to commemorate Curtis’ selection for a 2018 Maryland Traditions heritage award.
Curtis’ Coney Island Famous Weiners has been a fixture in downtown Cumberland, Maryland for more than a century. This video features owner Gino Giatras and celebrates the unique place Curtis’ holds in the fabric of this transitioning rural community.
