Folk Hero & Funny Guy will be screening at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival. It's in the US Narrative Competition section dedicated to American films and filmmakers.  The road-trip buddy movie was written and directed by Jeff Grace. See below for more details and screening times.

The Tribeca Film Festival takes place April 13 -14. Passes are on-sale now, HERE.

Director/Screenwriter: Jeff Grace

Producers: Ryland Aldrich and Jeff Grace

Cast: Alex Karpovsky, Wyatt Russell, Meredith Hagner, Michael Ian Black, Hannah Simone, Heather Morris, Melanie Lynskey, David Cross

About The Film

Recently dumped by his fiancée and with a stagnating standup routine, aspiring comedian-slash-copywriter Paul (Alex Karpovsky, Girls) is stuck. The manager of the club where he performs suggests he take some time off to update his comedy material, and in waltzes his childhood friend Jason Black (Wyatt Russell), an acclaimed folk-rock musician about to embark on a solo acoustic tour of the east coast. Jason suggests Paul needs to get his mojo back—and he should start by opening for Jason on tour. They set off on the road together, picking up a new act (folk singer Bryn, played by Meredith Hagner) on the way. But when Jason reveals an ulterior motive behind the tour, rifts are exposed in their otherwise affable camaraderie. Folk Hero & Funny Guy is a music-infused spin on the road-trip buddy comedy.

Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros Release Video + Tour Dates

Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros recently released a video for their track "No Love Like Yours". Check out the Olivia Wilde directed clip below.

Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros are releasing their new album, PersonA, April 15.

They're doing a slew of shows.  Sorry New York, their show at St. Ann and The Holy Trinity Church is sold out!

A good deal of the songs on PersonA were written by all ten band members collectively. Writing would often begin with a member playing his instrument not even knowing where the song would go with principal songwriter and singer Alex Ebert encouraging and directing the song's shape yielding wonderfully unique ends. It's little wonder that Rolling Stone wrote that PersonA is the band's "most risk-taking, freewheeling album yet."

Sune Rose Wagner said of "EXCUSES", "I love piecing things together, It’s so inspiring working on bits and pieces and make them happen together in a beautiful way. EXCUSES is a great example of that, helps my ADD. Furthermore, being surrounded by creative, inspiring, mad people is so crucial to anything in life really but when you encounter the opposite it’s so sad and a major drag to say the least, EXCUSES is kinda about that."

Movies: Miles Ahead Opening Tomorrow, 4/1

Miles Ahead
(Sony Pictures Classic)

Don Cheadle as Miles Davis

Don Cheadle stars as the late trumpeter Miles Davis in this bio-pic he co-wrote with Steven Baigelman. In his directorial debut, Cheadle explores a tumultuous period of Davis' life during the late 70s where he had pretty much disappeared from the public eye. The film co-stars Ewan McGregor as a music reporter who ends up on an adventure with the caustic Davis.

MILES AHEAD is a wildly entertaining and moving exploration of one of 20th century music's creative geniuses, Miles Davis, featuring a career defining performance by Oscar nominee Don Cheadle in the title role. Working from a script he co-wrote with Steven Baigelman, Cheadle's bravura directorial debut is not a conventional bio-pic but rather a unique, no-holds barred portrait of a singular artist in crisis. 

In the midst of a dazzling and prolific career at the forefront of modern jazz innovation, Miles Davis (Cheadle) virtually disappears from public view for a period of five years in the late 1970s. Alone and holed up in his home, he is beset by chronic pain from a deteriorating hip, his musical voice stifled and numbed by drugs and pain medications, his mind haunted by unsettling ghosts from the past.
