Brooklyn College Film lecturer and writer/director Ben Snyder has won Best Screenplay at Tribeca Film Festival for his feature, “Allswell.”
Entered in the Narrative Feature category, the film was co-written and based on real-life scenarios from lead actor Elizabeth Rodriguez. The film is an emotionally charged dramedy chronicling three Nuyorican sisters navigating the challenges of single motherhood, career, and family, all while finding humor and solace within the bonds of sisterhood.
The film follows Snyder’s acclaimed 2016 feature and directorial debut, 11:55, which was co-written with Ari Issler and Victor Almanzar, a military veteran, and tells the story of a U.S. Marine returning to his hometown, where he struggles to escape his violent past.
