New York City - Tribeca Film Festival: More Press and Sightseeing

New York City is buzzing with Tribeca. Everywhere I went, I saw something related to the Film Festival. On April 23, 2011 the cast and crew of Rid Of Me that was in NYC did a Q&A at the Apple Store in Soho. Here's some press and photos from that:

I did manage to do some sightseeing while in NYC. Here are a few photos from Central Park, Time Square, and other places I visited on Sunday:

Later that night I went to the "God Bless Ozzy Osbourne" premier after party (yes the Osbournes were there briefly) and then a show down the street at Dropout bar that had some cool bands. Names are like secret passwords in this town.

ROM cast and crew

Friday April 22 was the world premier of Rid Of Me. It was also my first time seeing the film. I was so impressed! I won't give anything away, but if you have the chance, catch a screening (if in NYC right now) or if/when it comes to theaters, go see it!

Here are a few reviews from the 4/22 screening:

"Rid Of Me" Update

So I'm only 2 days away from my flight to NYC (never been before!) and 3 days away from the SOLD OUT world premier of Rid Of Me at the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC! Red carpet and everything.

The star/producer of the film as well as the director have been doing a lot of press lately. Here are some links to articles!

The Oregonian

Indiewire

Movieline

And there are many more but that's all I have the links for at the moment. I'll post pictures and blog from NYC later this week!

Also, I didn't know Rid Of Me was actually named after PJ Harvey's album, but it IS!! That's AWESOME!
