No Mas and The Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival
No Mas is proud to announce our participation in the inaugural Tribeca/ESPN Sportsfest, a sports-centric festival within the Tribeca Film Festival, which runs from April 25 to May 6 here in New York. Sportsfest will offer screenings of 14 feature-length films, many about pursuits near and dear to the No Masian heart - soccer, poker, boxing, and the true sport of kings: breakdancing. In support of this maiden voyage, we will be providing coverage about and inspired by Sportsfest. So for the next month, expect a heavy dose of movie mania as well as a loving spoonful of other sportscultural delights (books, music, art, video games)--all in keeping with the usual No Mas way of life.
Along with our main man, No Mas editor Dave Larzelere a.k.a "Large", and our regularly deadly lineup of contributors, we will also be blessed by an all-star cast of visiting professors, so feel free to expect some good things.
Tribeca and ESPN, we tip our caps to you for taking the initiative to make this happen, and we look forward to sampling the fruit of your labors. Having a dedicated festival to showcase and incubate sports related projects is a very good thing for retrosexuals, athletophiles and cineastros of all stripes. And so we wish you great success. If you have any pregame jitters, we advise you to stop thinking, let things happen... and be the ball.

Tangential association with the Worldwide Leader?
Uh-oh.
We came in through the Tribeca side, so pretty tangential. But I am not mad at ESPN Films: they delivered (or helped deliver) our man John Hock's "Through the Fire" and the Cosmos "Once in a Lifetime". Possibly my 1-2 in sports movies last year. Would definitely be tough to say those were wack.
tell us more.
Tribeca reached out to us because they thought (correctly) that sports and film is in up our power alley and obviously they also thought the people in our community (aka y'all) would potentially be interested in the Festival, which isn't a bad bet.
In any case, it felt like a great opportunity to get our stuff out there and the event was totally in line with our sports cultural predelictions, so we were down.
TW: 'I like you Betty'
DN: 'It's Danny, sir'
TW: 'Danny. I'm gonna give you a little advice.There's a force in the universe that makes things happen...'
