Radioman

Detective Carlos crossed the border three times that night, but this story isn't about a cop. It’s about a New York City legend. For decades, a man with a radio has been a fixture on film sets, from blockbusters to indies, known to every star and crew member. This 2012 documentary portrait pieces together the life of Craig Castaldo, a homeless man whose passion for cinema granted him unique access to Hollywood’s inner workings. More than a quirky character study, it’s a poignant look at community, obsession, and the unexpected places where fame and anonymity intersect on the city streets.
