Summary

The City National Bank presentation unveiled a multi‑genre film slate, ranging from a heart‑warming family comedy to a deep‑dive documentary on iconic artist Jean‑Michel Basquiat. Each project is rooted in personal stories, with Finnegan's Foursome inspired by the producer’s own family golf tournament, and the Basquiat film promising an authentic voice from those who knew him best.

Key titles include the comedic Finnegan's Foursome, a Basquiat portrait, an adventure trek featuring Bob Elton and David Cross along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, a music documentary chronicling Sarah Bareilles’s first studio session in seven years, and a sports drama exploring the rivalry and simultaneous cancer battles of Chris Everton and Martina Navratilova.

The presenter emphasized the emotional stakes, noting, “When I started making this film, I said, this is a New York film. I want to go to Tribeca,” and urged audiences to “hold on to that and cherish it” when a screening opportunity arises.

Premiering at the 25th anniversary of the Tribeca Film Festival positions the slate for heightened visibility, potential distribution deals, and reinforces City National Bank’s commitment to cultural investment and brand association with premier cinematic events.
