## Resource

Very rarely, you'll watch a documentary, and think...how did he get that all on film? That was the case for me and the film MOUTH FULL OF GOLDS (2026) premiering this week at the Tribeca Film Festival. It's about "grillz" -- the teeth attachments/implants and their cultural connection in New York City, Miami, Atlanta, and Paris. If that description sounds incredible, that's because the film is incredible. Director Lyle Lindgren joins for me the pod and traces his history from car salesman to his first film festival here in New York City. Grillz or not, you'll want to be on this ride. In this episode, Lyle and I talk about: the insular community of "grillz" and how he was able to make this film; how did he get into filmmaking -- it's an absolutely crazy story ("I always thought I'd be a car salesman"); what his previous films taught him about making MOUTH FULL OF GOLDS; his many jobs on this set -- what jobs did he like the most and least? how they casted for this film and their philosophy for re-enactments; why Tribeca and what New York City means to him; how he approaches going to the festival as a producer versus coming from a working class background to his first film festival!; what's next for him.
