Tony

Matt Johnson / 2026

A 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain travels to Provincetown and stumbles into the chaotic world of a restaurant kitchen, setting off a summer that will shape the course of his life.

There is something so quietly devastating about being nineteen and thinking you already know everything, only for life to gently (and sometimes not so gently) remind you that you know absolutely nothing. Tony understands that growing up is less about becoming someone new and more about finally learning how to look outside yourself. A sweaty, sun-drenched little film about finding purpose in the places you never intended to stay, and the people who teach you things without ever realizing they’re teaching you anything. Makes you want to spend a summer somewhere by the ocean, make a few mistakes, and become a little less insufferable in the process.
