  • FAULT: Misha Calvert on Confronting Grooming & Abuse in Sports | Tribeca 2026

    In this episode of The Last Shot Podcast, we sit down with writer-director Misha Calvert to discuss her powerful new film FAULT — a dramatic feature based on a true story that confronts grooming and abuse in professional sports, and the systems that allow it to go unchecked. Selected for the 2026 Tribeca Festival, FAULT has been called a timely and unflinching look at power, silence, and survival — drawing comparisons to the Epstein-era reckoning still playing out across institutions today.

    Misha opens up about what drew her to this story, the responsibility of telling it truthfully, and what she hopes audiences take away after the credits roll. A must-listen for anyone following this year's most important festival premieres.

  • Tribeca 2026: Airport BLVD | An Interview with Alejandro Hendricks

    A Black man watching his Austin neighborhood get priced out from under him. A jazz musical. And a Texas filmmaker who took that story all the way to Tribeca.
    We sat down with writer and director Alejandro Hendricks at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival to talk Airport BLVD — a jazz-infused, bittersweet love letter to East Austin and the Black community being erased by the city's transformation.


    Alejandro gets into what it meant to build this story around the displacement of Black Austinites, how he crafted a full musical on a Lo-Fi budget, what it took to get an independent Texas film into the U.S. Narrative Competition at one of the world's biggest film festivals, and why the stories that hit closest to home are the ones worth going all the way for.


    Airport BLVD is now in competition in the U.S. Narrative Competition at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, presented by OKX.
