‘Doc Albany,’ Oscar Winner Ben Proudfoot’s Documentary About Real-Life Inspiration for ‘Doc Hollywood,’ to Premiere at Tribeca Festival


"Doc Albany," a short documentary by Oscar winner Ben Proudfoot, will world premiere at Tribeca Festival on June 8.

“ Doc Albany,” a short documentary by Oscar winner and the third installment in a film series highlighting the beneficial uses of technology, will world premiere at Tribeca Festival on June 8. “I was taken aback at how much of the United States is a medical desert and what a high percentage of rural counties don’t have access to healthcare and hospitals,” Proudfoot, whose credits include “The Last Repair Shop” and “The Queen of Basketball,” told Variety. The documentary is the final project in the Impact Films initiative, a three-part series by Publicis Sapient that highlights the stories of people whose lives are affected by the technology systems that the company develops or improves for its clients.
