TC Doc Series:
P-Star to Dungeon Masters
P-Star Rising, an inspirational story of the musical ambitions of a young girl and her father, was a big hit at the TFF 2009 Drive-In, where the movie screened and P-Star performed before an audience of thousands. It was a much more intimate crowd last Monday night at Tribeca Cinemas, where Gabriel Noble's film kicked off the Tribeca Cinemas Doc Series.
(If you missed P-Star Rising, you can catch it February 9 on PBS.)
During the Q&A after the film, Priscilla Star and her father Jesse Diaz were on hand, as were director Noble and producer Marjan Tehrani. A "fearless" and radiant Priscilla handled the crowd with aplomb, and an apparent maturity beyond her years. When asked about life after the movie, she explained, "I write music now. I write for other people. The music I am doing now is commercial, crossover music--dance, hiphop, pop, put together--it's all about publishing now. We just finished the soundtrack for P-Star, and there is a video on YouTube for Daddy's Little Girl. Check it out!"
A biweekly event, the TC Doc Series features past Festival favorites, classic docs, and, simply, docs we love.
Evil drow elves. Super-villains. Ninjas. Cable-access. Next on the docket is The Dungeon Masters, Keven McAlester's (You're Gonna Miss Me) fascinating look inside the world of live-action role-playing games. In association with Film Buff, the screening will be followed by a Q&A with McAlester and one of the film's producers, Jeff Levy-Hinte (himself a TFF alum filmmaker: see Soul Power).

Gabriel Byrne: Stories From Home
This would be a great documentary to add to the TC Doc Series. Check it out! Directed by Pat Collins. It's been making the Irish festival rounds and you should grab it. New Yorkers would love it--he lives in Brooklyn, after all. ;-) Seriously, it is darn good stuff and worth your investment. I don't have anything to do with the film--I'm just a big Gabriel Byrne fan. Thanks!
