We’re only about halfway through this year’s edition of The Tribeca Film Festival, but I have a hard time believing that anything is gonna displace Matt Creed’s debut feature as my favorite premiere of the fest. “Lily” is a beautifully rendered portrait of a young woman preparing to take the next step as she finishes treatment for breast cancer, a film that’s tiny but true, as precise as it is universally relatable. Indebted to the free-flowing spirit of John Cassavetes and inspired by lead actress Amy Grantham’s fight with cancer, “Lily” is the kind of movie that proves – among other things – that there’s hope for indie film beyond the likes of Sundance and SXSW, and that Tribeca is full of buried treasure if you know where to look.
I recently chatted with Matt and Amy about how “Lily” came to be, and we’ll have that interview up on the site in the next little bit, but for now we’re super pleased to present an exclusive clip from the film. It might seem like a strange excerpt, but this bit of footage nicely articulates the two worlds that Lily is forced to navigate between.
“Lily” will screen two more times at TFF, and will play at other festivals over the coming months.
