Tribeca Film Festival 2015 has wrapped up for another year. It’s one of my favorite film festivals in New York and I hope to watch more great movies and documentaries in 2016!! Check out the winners and runners-up below:<\/p>\n
King Jack, directed and written by Felix Thompson. (USA) \u2013 World Premiere, Narrative.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Growing up in a rural town filled with violent delinquents, Jack has learned to do what it takes to survive, despite having an oblivious mother and no father. After his aunt falls ill and a younger cousin comes to stay with him, the hardened 15-year-old discovers the importance of friendship, family, and looking for happiness even in the most desolate of circumstances.<\/p>\n
TransFatty Lives, directed by Patrick O\u2019Brien, co-written by Patrick O’Brien, Scott Crowningshield, Lasse Jarvi, Doug Pray. (USA) \u2013 World Premiere, Documentary. <\/strong><\/p>\n
Director Patrick O\u2019Brien is TransFatty, the onetime NYC deejay and Internet meme-making superstar. In 2005, O\u2019Brien began to document his life after being diagnosed with ALS and given only two to five years to live. TransFatty Lives is a brazen and illustrative account of what it’s like to live when you find out you are going to die.<\/p>\n
