AUDIENCES CHOOSE PLUS ONE AND GAY CHORUS DEEP SOUTH

AS THE 2019 TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL AUDIENCE AWARD WINNERS, PRESENTED BY AT&T

NEW YORK, NY- May 4, 2019 -The 18th annual Tribeca Film Festival, presented by AT&T, announced the winners of its two Audience Awards: the audience choice for Best Narrative Feature and Best Documentary Feature films, sponsored by AT&T. Plus One, written and directed by Jeff Chan and Andrew Rhymer, was honored with the Narrative Audience Award and Gay Chorus Deep South, directed by David Charles Rodrigues, was given the Documentary Audience Award. The winner of each receive a cash prize of $10,000.

These stories are crowd pleasers and united audiences at the Festival, said Tribeca EVP Paula Weinstein. Our audiences laughed their way through the screenings of the romantic comedy Plus One lead by Maya Erskine and Jack Quaid and were moved by Gay Chorus Deep South, a timely story that uses music to unite communities around LGBTQ+ rights. We were honored to world premiere these films and know audiences elsewhere will love them as much as ours did at Tribeca.

So many of the people who worked on Plus One met in New York, and bringing the film back to this city has been an overwhelmingly emotional experience, said directors Jeff Chan and Andrew Rhymer. We are over the moon excited by the audience response to our film and can't wait to share it with the rest of the world when it releases on June 14th!

The entire reason we made this film was to bring this message of belonging of the LGBTQ community and all other communities that are considered the other to as many people as possible in the world and the Audience Award at Tribeca is the ultimate celebration of exactly this, said David Charles Rodrigues. We are honored and humbled by this award. Thank you Tribeca from the bottom of our hearts.

The runners-up were See You Yesterday, directed by Stefon Bristol, for the Narrative Audience Award and Watson, directed by Lesley Chilcott, for the Documentary Audience Award. Throughout the Festival, which kicked off on April 24, audience members voted by using the official Tribeca Film Festival app on their mobile devices and rated the film they had just viewed from 1-5 stars. Films in the U.S. Narrative Competition, International Narrative Competition, Documentary Competition, Viewpoints, Narrative Spotlight, Narrative Documentary, Movies Plus, Midnight, This Used to Be New York, and Tribeca Critics' Week sections were eligible.

Audience Award winners and runners-up will screen Sunday, May 5 at Regal Cinema Battery Park Theater along with the winners selected by the Tribeca Film Festival Jury, which were announced on May 2.
