As the fiftieth anniversary of the Mustang approaches, Ford is launching a redesign, placing the jobs and expectations of thousands squarely on the shoulders of Chief Program Engineer Dave Pericak. Directed by David Gelb ("Jiro Dreams of Sushi"), "" moves beyond a car lover’s documentary to a resonant examination of American ingenuity, workmanship, and resilience.

Now what’s it REALLY about? Tell us briefly about yourself. I’m originally from New York but have lived in Los Angeles since I went to film school at USC 12 years ago. Biggest challenge in completing this film? The story of the Mustang is huge. 9,000,000 cars produced over 50 years with thousands of fan clubs all over the world. The hardest part was figuring out the entry point to the story for the audience. Lee Iacocca, who willed the original Mustang into existence, is a true visionary and a fascinating character. And Dave Pericak, the chief engineer of the 2015 Mustang, has the weight of that legacy on his shoulders. The answer was to tell the story through these characters.What do you want the Tribeca audience to take away from your film? Any films inspire you? I’m inspired by lots of films. In documentary particularly, I love "The Fog of War" and "Baraka." Those films are big influences, and there are many more. My series "Chef’s Table" that will be released by Netflix in the spring.

Six hour long documentaries on some of the most interesting and ambitious chefs in the world shot in the style of "Jiro Dreams of Sushi." What cameras did you shoot on? If so, via what platform.  No, we were fortunate enough to not have to. Did you go to film school? If so, which one?Actually, so did the cinematographer Will Basanta, the editor Isaac Hagy, and one of our field producers Clay Jeter. We all met in classes we had together at least 10 years ago! Indiewire invited Tribeca Film Festival directors to tell us about their films, including what inspired them, the challenges they faced and what they’re doing next. We’ll be publishing their responses leading up to the 2015 festival.

It’s like, what’s the point? So I wasn’t sure if I should write about my Nomura omakase lunch.

But then again, I’m no slouch when it comes to sushi. My resume includes relevant experience such as: 1) Watching Jiro Dreams of Sushi in an independent theater, first row, 2) Waking up super early to window-shop at Tokyo’s Tsukiji Market, 3) One year showing up to Tsukiji not knowing the entire place was still closed over the New Year break, 4) Dinner at Sushi Nakazawa in New York except it was on Sundaysushi las condes carmencita, when Nakazawa takes the night off, 5) Dining solo at the sushi bar in Narita Airport while waiting for connecting flights to/from Chicago between 2005-2007.yo sushi delivery nw3 So as you can see, I am fully qualified for the position of writing about Nomura. sushi kan ottawa gift card

And I’m excited for this opportunity to share my meal. First, I have to mention that every single person sitting at the sushi bar, including me, was taking photos on their phone. And no kidding, one woman actually had a GoPro camera on a steady stick so she could video the sushi chefs. She also pulled out a Fujifilm Instax camera for Polaroid-style shots of her group. I simply have to assume she is a YouTube millionaire. When I see people like this, or those with DSLR cameras, I feel unworthy taking photos with my HTC phone. In fact, I feel bad for my nigiri pieces because they’re not getting the fancy paparazzi treatment they would have gotten if they were served to the others. But then I just shrug it off and eat them up. Anyway, the space is quiet and calming. The knife-work is swift and impressive. Everything is Japanese-y and exactly what you’d expect at a place with this reputation. Now a few things to note: You want to book seats at the sushi bar.

Because this will give you the best view to take your 200 photos. The lunch sets are 1,200NT for 10 pieces, 1,500NT for 8 fancier pieces, or 2,000NT for the omakase (chef’s choice) which includes cooked stuff too. The tall Asahi is 180NT a bottle. They also have another type of Japanese beer, but I don’t know what. You get extras with your meal too (dessert, soup, endless pickles…) Do not try to understand what type of fish you are eating, or where it is from. The chef is Japanese and speaks limited Mandarin. You are probably not Japanese and will hear limited Mandarin. It’s pretty great value. My friend Fay and I both ordered the 1,500NT set. This means it was around US$60 each for a high-quality sushi lunch (including 10% service charge and the shared beer). In New York, a similar meal would cost around US$200. So no complaints from me. If you enjoy sushi and it fits in your budget, it’s lovely once in a while to experience a place like Nomura. There are both cheaper and more expensive options in Taipei.
