NEW ROCHELLE, NY (May 30, 2025) — The New Rochelle Public Library will host a free screening of two acclaimed hot rod documentaries, “Three Mile” and “This is Long Beach,” by award-winning filmmaker Brian Darwas on Saturday, June 7, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. in the Ossie Davis Theater.
Darwas’ films capture the heart of traditional hot rod and custom car communities. “Three Mile” takes viewers to the Bonneville Salt Flats, showcasing the grit of land speed racers chasing records. “This is Long Beach” explores Southern California’s car culture, highlighting the Long Beach Cavaliers and the builders, drivers, and artists who fuel the scene.
“Brian Darwas doesn’t just document cars—he captures the soul of the people who build and race them,” said the event’s organizer. “These films are a celebration of craftsmanship, community, and the spirit of speed.”
A discussion will follow the screening, inviting attendees to share thoughts on the films and the culture they depict. The event is open to the public at the Ossie Davis Theater, located at 1 Library Plaza, New Rochelle.
