The touching and poignant journey finds a way to inspire every lover of hot dogs and humanity.
The film has also been accepted to the Academy Award qualifying 10th Annual AmDocs Festival (March 26-April 4) and 10th Annual Julien Dubuque International Film Festival where the film will make its mid-west premiere and is nominated as “Best Short Documentary” (April 18-April 25).

“This film is my love letter to all the mom & pop diners who created lifelong memories for me,” states director David Baram. “The Hot Texas Weiner is more than a hot dog, it represents decades of hard work and sacrifice, many of the immigrant owned establishments poured into creating joyful experiences for the community of Paterson.”
