Nas’ Time Is Illmatic screening in April was attended by Robert De Niro, Wale and Raekwon, among others. When it was picked up by Tribeca, Nas released the following statement.
“I want to thank Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal & the Tribeca Film family for all of the love & support they’ve given Time Is Illmatic,” Nas said. “It is an honor to be in partnership with them. I feel there is a cultural kinship bonded by the city of New York.”
global distribution for a documentary no one cares about
People obviously care if it’s a hit at Cannes and is getting global distribution.
@ OP: Change “no one cares” to “I don’t care” and your comment will be more accurate.
