Barry Avrich, Moguls Monsters & Madmen

Filmmaker & Marketing Executive Barry Avrich talks about RENT-A-FAN CLUB, getting stuck in an altercation between Jackie Mason & Jerry Stiller, why you need to treat ‘yelling’ as performance art, why his Bob Saget anecdote was far too filthy to share, whether we can expect an update to Unauthorized: The Harvey Weinstein Project, how Hollywood is the “only place you can die of encouragement,” his father’s best advice [“look at the audience, not the movie” and “DON’T blend in”], working on docs about Lew Wasserman/David Foster/Bob Guccione/Howie Mandel/Oscar Peterson, and lessons learned from mentors Michael Cohl, Eddie Greenspan, Dusty Cohl, Gino Empry and Garth Drabinsky!

TORONTO LEGENDS is hosted by Andrew Applebaum.
