Michael Imperioli, Josh Brolin, Matt Dillon, Director Ebs Burnough & More Go ‘On The Road’ With Jack Kerouac In Tribeca Documentary


A doc about Jack Kerouac's 'On the Road,' directed by Ebs Burnough & featuring Michael Imperioli premieres at Tribeca. Watch an exclusive clip.

Those words, immodest, carried away with possibility and essentially romantic, are articulated in the new documentary Kerouac’s Road: The Beat of a Nation, which makes its premiere this evening at Tribeca Festival in New York. “The film retraces Kerouac’s restless journey across America while exploring how his emphasis on experience over material success, as well as authentic connection over digital convenience, speaks powerfully to our screen-saturated era.” Burnough and team not only enlisted Imperioli but other prominent artists and admirers of Kerouac’s novel, including actors Josh Brolin and Matt Dillon, cultural commentator W. Kamau Bell, singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant, and writer Jay McInerney.
