General Admission
Director Kaily Morgan Smith gets it. Tribeca 2026 short General Admission is a damn hit. In just under ten minutes, we meet a disaster of a woman attending her first anonymous meeting. Launching into her “Hi, my name is,” audiences already know they are in for a smirk-inducing ride.
Nina Dobrev is a comic genius here. Huge props to writer Sarah Adina. Surrounded by a slew of familiar television faces, Dobrev delivers a monologue that teeters between ridiculous and genuine. She nails each beat with 1000% commitment, and it is fantastic.
The brilliant ensemble keeps up the comedy with unforgettable one-liners. Anthony Kraus’ casting is perfection. Gorgeously shot by Patrick Jones, and aided by a punchy score by Chris Tilton, I would watch an entire series of Kelly in this group, week after week. I’m begging for a General Admission series. I’m already addicted.
