It's the Tribeca Film Festival 2025 and we've got two powerful short films that center around the beautiful ways in which people finding meaning in life.

In How I Learned to Die, 16 year old Iris finds out in 4 days she has a 60% chance of dying, so she decides to live it up. Director/writer Manya Glassman shares how the story is based on her real life experience, having Spike Lee as Executive Producer, and the beautiful things she currently has on her bucket list.

How I Learned to Die is screening in NY on 6/6, 6/12, and 6/14, get tickets here!

Freeman Vines is a documentary short film named after an 82 year old man who carves guitars in search of a specific sound, using wood including timber from lynching trees. We were joined by co-directors Tim Kirkman and Andre Robert Lee who share when they first met Freeman, how his art (and theirs) is an act of activism, and why preserving history is so important in this moment.
