Terminal Bar: Porters, Bouncers, and Bartenders

For ten years, Sheldon Nadelman took thousands of black and white photographs while bartending at the Terminal Bar, Times Square's most notorious watering hole of the 1970s. Murray Goldman, the bar's owner since 1957 was Sheldon's father-in-law as well as the filmmaker's grandfather.

In Porters, Bouncers, and Bartenders, the third installment of the Terminal Bar series, we explore the staff who worked at the bar during Sheldon's decade-long stint. The interviews of Sheldon were shot in the year 2000.

My college art teacher is friends with the person who made this. He showed me it because I like to edit as well. :) This is amazing! After Effects is a really great program.

I'll 2nd that incerdible mention. Sundance golden-bound...Again. It's an artifact of new york during that period. Those bldg's are so delapidated. Imagine that real estate today! BTW, is that anyway to speak of a relative...Splotchy!

your work is incredible! it's a mistake to call it 2.5 dimensional, it's at least 6 dimensional: visual, musical, emotional, historical, social, familial,...
