Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys has taken time off from saving Tibet to direct a movie. His documentary Gunnin’ For That #1 Spot follows eight of the nation’s top high school basketball players as they dribble in the “Elite 24” all-star game in Harlem’s Rucker Park. It was chosen earlier this week to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival as a spotlight film. Yauch’s past credits have included the concert documentary Awesome; I Fuckin’ Shot That! as well as numerous Beastie music videos under the moniker “Nathaniel Hörnblowér.”
