COME CLOSER WINS VIEWPOINTS AWARD AT TRIBECA FESTIVAL

New York, NY – June 14, 2024 – Tribeca Film announced yesterday in a ceremony that Come Closer won the Viewpoint Award at the Tribeca Festival.  Held in New York City from June 6th – 16th, the festival features some of the best cinema from around the world.  

Tom Nesher’s writing and directorial debut premiered earlier in the festival to positive reviews. Loud and Clear’s Hayley Croke wrote “Tom Nesher’s Come Closer is one of the most beautiful and visceral portrayals of grief and the ways we try to make peace with loss.”

Come Closer stars Lia Elalouf and Darya Rosenn in their first lead roles.  The Movie Waffler’s Eric Hills, wrote Come Closer “introduces the world to a future global star in its lead actress Lia Elalouf. She delivers one of the most remarkable debut performances of the past couple of decades and oozes that indefinable star quality that so few performers are blessed with,” and Reel News Daily’s Liz Whittemore states “the complexities of grief shine through stunning performances. Darya Rosenn‘s innocence shines as Maya.”

Synopsis:  When Eden’s beloved brother suddenly dies, she takes desperate measures to fill the void. Once she discovers he had a secret girlfriend, these measures assume a passionate and dangerous twist.
