00:00This year, the Tribeca Festival premiered nearly 120 feature-length narrative and

00:07documentary films, along with shorts, revivals, audio, storytelling, and a ton more.

00:13The Tribeca Festival is so cool.

00:17I'm so happy to be here. I've never done anything like this before.

00:20We're really thrilled to be here. This is a great festival. We're New Yorkers. We made the

00:24movie in New York. Real-life husband and wife Keira Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon came out to

00:30premiere their film, The Best You Can, about an unlikely friendship that turns into something

00:35more. The duo shared the screen for the first time in 20 years. We haven't acted for a long

00:41time together. This is a blast. Yeah, it's great. We're really proud of it. Yep, it was a family

00:47affair at Tribeca Festival. Real-life father and daughter Steve Zahn and Audrey Zahn star in

00:52She Dances, about a family trying to repair their relationship.

00:56He's told me everything I know. It was like working with another great actress.

01:00Patricia Arquette's family and famous friends came out to support her directorial debut on

01:06Gonzo Girl, based on the life of journalist Hunter S. Thompson.

01:09There was a lot of undercurrent. Discovering your beauty and the commodity of beauty and what

01:16female beauty is through the eyes of celebrities. She's incredible and I'm really, really excited to see it.

01:21I'll be back. Not real-life mother and daughter, but Christine Lottie and Alicia Wainwright play them in

01:27Bird in Hand. It's about a biracial young woman who is in search of her father.

01:32I also met my dad in my adult life, like this character in the film does, and it drastically changed my life.

01:39Sebastian Maniscalco and family came out to premiere the podcast. He voiced Easy Money, the Charles Ponzi story.

01:46Feeling sorry for this guy is going to be tough, but he was a sweet man, I think.

01:51Long-time on-screen co-stars Mia Maestro and Lee Pace star together, and after this death...

01:56Lee and I have been friends for a long time. It's a very mysterious, special film.

02:02Julia Fox appears in Fior de Latte with Fisher Stevens and Kevin Kline as a desperate New York playwright who turns an unlikely muse.

02:10This film is really unlike anything out.

02:14Rapper Logic sat in the director's chair for the first time for Paradise Records, produced by Kevin Smith.

02:20And in Kevin Smith fashion, it's about a record store owner, this time on the brink of foreclosure.

02:26I just wanted to write real people with real dialogue.

02:30Wu-Tain Clan's legendary RZA wrote and directed One Spoon of Chocolate, starring Paris Jackson and Shamik Moore,

02:37who plays a former military convict and finds love, danger and trouble in a small town.

02:43I just wanted to make something that was, like, had something very unique and very magnetizing.

02:48The Leo DiCaprio-produced documentary, Yanuni, follows indigenous chief Juma Shipayo as she fights to protect tribal lands.

02:57As a producer, I'm proud to help bring this story to the world.

03:00Are We Good gives a look into comedian and groundbreaking podcast host Mark Maron's Everyday Life.

03:06I learned that I'm a little more cranky and a little weirder than I thought I was.

03:11Tig Notaro, Abby Wambach, Glennon Doyle, and Sara Bareilles produced Come See Me in the Good Light,

03:17which tells the poignant and unexpectedly funny love story about poets facing an incurable cancer diagnosis.

03:23It's a movie that I think really can connect and bring people back together.

03:28Iconic novelist Jack Kerouac is put in the spotlight in Kerouac's Road, The Beat of a Nation.

03:33Josh Brolin and Natalie Merchant make appearances, and Michael Imperioli is his voice.

03:38The opportunity to read his words for a movie in voiceover was very appealing.

03:43There were also several music documentaries.

03:45Doors drummer John Densmore came out for When You're Strange, the 60th anniversary celebration of the band, narrated by Johnny Depp.

03:54And Brendan Fraser and Ellen Burson came out to honor director Darren Aronofsky at Requiem for a Dream's 25th anniversary screening.

04:02There's one scary scene that sticks in my mind. I'm not looking forward to seeing it again tonight.
