As a special thank you to everyone staying home and doing their part to help keep our community safe, Tribeca is proud to present an online series of Tribeca shorts, with a new film rolled out each day for a moment of entertainment and refuge in a world unknown.

A cross-country backpacking trip may be impossible right now, but your words can still travel the globe. Thanks to the postal service’s extraordinary dedication, letters withstand the test of time and weather to make it to their destination. 

Tribeca presents the exclusive online premiere of Michael Scalisi’s “Royal American,” proof there’s no better time to put pen to paper.

We would like to thank the filmmakers for making this short available for a limited time. Click here for another short.

The Tribeca Film Festival extends its heartfelt thanks to the organizations that have so generously made our mission possible.
