All Up in the Biz

One of the biggest festivals for film, TV, and entertainment returns this summer as The Tribeca Festival runs June 7 to the 8th in NYC.

With over 100 films being showcased there’s an ample selection of titles to pick from, including narrative features, documentaries, animation and more.. One of the fest’s highlights is the documentary Stan Lee directed by David Gelb (Jiro Dreams of Sushi), which looks at the life and legacy of one of Marvel’s founding fathers. Sav Rodger’s Chasing Chasing Amy is a documentary in which a filmmaker goes on a journey of self-discovery while also making a film about the creation of Kevin Smith’s controversial LGBTQ+ film, Chasing Amy. Starring Zachary Quinto, He Went That Way is a true crime period piece set in 1964 about celebrity animal trainer Dave Pitts and how he crossed paths with serial killer Larry Lee Ranes. Adipurush, directed by Om Raut, is an action packed special effects bonanza that retells the epic poem “Ramayana”. In All Up in the Biz, director Sacha Jenkins creates a collage of celebrity interviews, rare film, reenactments, and playful animation to share how Biz Markie left his mark on the history of hip-hop.

The Tribeca TV portion of the festival includes the premiere of the new The Walking Dead spin off series The Walking Dead: Dead City. Set in a zombie infested and lawless NYC, Dead City stars Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Following the screening is a conversation with executive producer and cast members Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan, cast members Gaius Charles and Zeljko Ivanek, along with the chief content officer of The Walking Dead Universe and executive producer Scott M. Gimple, and showrunner and executive producer Eli Jorné.

This is but a small sampling of the screenings looking to become one of NYC’s biggest events for film and television.
