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).
