Alicia Keys at Sundance to pump film about survival on the streets of Brooklyn
PARK CITY, Utah — Alicia Keys is attending her first Sundance Film Festival to support “The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete,” which premiered Friday. Directed by George Tillman, Jr., the film tells the story of two young boys who survive the streets of Brooklyn on their own.
“It’s great because I love being part of bringing stories that you wouldn’t often hear to the world,” she said. “The fact that it was in my hometown — New York — that felt really good. The most important thing for me is that it looked and was so authentic.”
This was Keys’ first experience creating a film score, and she found the process enlightening.
