Things that make me happy... Tribeca Film Festival


So why a attend a film festival? First, you are a fan of movies and the making of them. Second, you like hanging out with cool people in one of NYC's most hip neighborhoods. Lastly, you want to expand your normal genres, subjects, and topics.

Every year The Tribeca Film Festival invades New York for ten days and host 100,000 movies goers in a variety of theaters in lower Manhattan.  You can get early selections of movies by purchasing a pass, one of many packages, or single tickets online. But they also reserve "RUSH" tickets for each show to ensure that everyone gets a chance to see the movie (as long as you are willing to arrive early and stand on line.)

You can see some of the films online on the Tribeca Film Festival website.
