Out of State Chosen for 11th Annual Tribeca All Access Program
PIC-funded program Out of State (R&D, Production) was named as one of ten projects chosen for the 11th annual Tribeca All Access (TAA) program. Ten projects were chosen (of the 620 submissions), each to receive $15,000 in grants as well as access to year-round support and resources to help filmmakers complete their works.
The TAA grantees are overseen by Ryan Harrington, Vice President, Artist Programs and Tamir Muhammad, Director of Feature Programming, and encompass a collection of emerging and established diverse filmmakers.
"With subjects ranging from the Coast Salish peoples to Hawaiian inmates to the rural agrarian communities of Sapa, Vietnam, this year's TAA documentary slate represents our most geographically diverse group of films since the program's inception," said Harrington. "These projects come from a multicultural group of talented artists immersed in their local communities and dedicated to telling those communities' stories."
Muhammad said, "The 2014 narrative TAA films’ genres range in scope from comedy to mystery and suspense, and explore forward-thinking themes that are relatable for a wide array of audiences. We are proud to be working with this new roster of such creative talent at every step of their process."
Out of State: Directed and Produced by Ciara L. Lacy; Produced by Beau J.K. Bassett.
Out of State follows a group of roughly 100 native Hawaiian inmates practicing hula, a native Hawaiian dance form, as a means of maintaining their cultural heritage and working to rehabilitate themselves and their relationships with their families.
