About the film
From A24 studios comes an emotional drama set within the walls of the infamous Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison. This true-to-life tale follows “Divine G”, an inmate serving time for a crime he didn’t commit, and a group of prisoners who strive to eke out a meaningful, humane existence by banding together to produce an original stage play.
Featuring an excellent performance from veteran San Francisco stage actor Colman Domingo, and juxtaposing trained actors alongside actual inmates, Sing Sing is a powerful and authentic story about the transformative, rehabilitating, and revitalizing power of Art.

Training their cameras on the people, places, and culture of Appalachia, Rubin and York seek to reclaim the dignity of the term and to portray Appalachians in a more positive and realistic light. By examining over a century’s-worth of media representation of Appalachian culture, and through interviews with people who live in the region, this film is an attempt to shed light on the richness and proud heritage of one of America’s most misunderstood communities.
