LOS ANGELES – Alice Wu’s “The Half of It,” a teenage spin on Cyrano de Bergerac, has won the top award from the Tribeca Film Festival.
Organizers announced winners on Instagram Wednesday for the festival, which had been set to take place from April 15 through April 26 in New York City.
The coronavirus pandemic forced the festival to reschedule, but jury members were able to view the films electronically and vote on winners. “We are fortunate that technology allowed for our jury to come together this year to honor our filmmakers,” said Jane Rosenthal, Tribeca Film Festival co-founder and CEO, in a statement. “Despite not being able to be together physically, we were still able to support our artists.” Festival director Cara Cusumano added
