P-Star Rising tells the story of Jesse Diaz, who in the '80s was a flash-in-the-pan performer in the hip-hop world. Years later, he's a broke single father living in Harlem with two kids. But one of them turns out to be a precocious, nine-year-old rapper, and director Gabriel Noble follows four years of father-daughter ups and downs as they navigate the grit and the glamour of the music biz. P-Star Rising will screen for free on the 25th as part of the Tribeca Film Festival Drive-In series.
Last week Executive Director Nancy Schafer talked us through some of the fun events happening during the festival, which include free stuff like the drive-in movies and the family street fair, the post-screening Q&A's with directors such as Spike Lee and Steven Soderbergh, and a "work in progress" premiere screening of the documentary, Bon Jovi: When We Were Beautiful.
Tickets went on sale Tuesday for American Express Cardmembers, who get first dibs on tickets through Saturday because Am Ex is a major festival sponsor. On Sunday, single tickets go on sale to downtown residents (below Canal) at the Tribeca Cinemas ticket outlet only, and on Monday they go on sale to the general public. All ticket details are here. Click on the film stills above for details on some of the intriguing documentary features at this year's festival.
