P-Star Rising screens at the Piazza
The Philadelphia Film Society announced via their Twitter that the will host a free screening of P-Star Rising, about nine-year-old rapper Priscilla Diaz, on Tuesday, November 10 at 7 p.m. at the Piazza. For four years, director Gabriel Noble followed Diaz and her dad Jesse. a supposed-to-be-hot-shit rapper in the ’80s who never made it big. Now a struggling single father, Jesse sees Priscilla, or P-Star, as his family’s last shot at musical greatness.
P-Star Rising has been on the fest circuit for awhile and it played the recent Philadelphia Film Festival but I didn’t catch it. Any Crit Massers see it? Any good?
P-Star herself will be there to perform after the screening. Not sure of P-Stars skills? Listen to her rhyme on a rooftop with Noble, courtesy of IFC.com.
P-Star Rising screening, Tue., Nov. 10, 7 p.m., Piazza at Schmidts, Third & Hancock streets, atthepiazza.com.
I saw P-Star Rising at the festival, amazing documentary and a really good story. I’m definitely going to see it again, so exited to see P-Star perform at the Piazza after the movie!
