Greenwich Entertainment has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to the documentary feature Kenny Scharf: When Worlds Collide. The film is slated to debut in theaters and on digital platforms across the country on April 23.
The docu, which marks the directorial debut feature from Max Basch and Malia Scharf, made its world premiere last year at SXSW. Made over 11 years, the docu takes a look at the life of artist Kenny Scharf and features interviews and rare archival footage with Scharf, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Ed Ruscha, Dennis Hopper, Yoko Ono, Kaws, Marilyn Minter, and Jeffrey Deitch.
When Scharf arrived in New York City in the early 1980s, he quickly befriended Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. This trio changed the face of the art world with their works. While Basquiat and Haring both died tragically young, Scharf lived through cataclysmic shifts in New York City and the art world.

Clint Eastwood’s “Trouble With the Curve” is the target of a lawsuit by a former college baseball player who says the defendants — including Warner Bros., UTA and Eastwood’s production company — conspired to rip off his screenplays and concept reels by propping up a phony screenwriter and covering their tracks.

The talented California teen - who's experienced more adversity in her short years than many of us will in our lifetimes - is the subject of a 40-minute namesake movie, up for Best Documentary short at this Sunday's Oscars.
