He’s already made a huge impact on Hollywood as the leader of the town’s favorite sports team, but Kobe Bryant says he’s just getting started.
Next up: movies, TV, short films, even novels. “I think there’s a myriad of ways to reach an audience, and the important thing is making sure we have compelling stories and characters that can support that,” the NBA legend told TheWrap on Sunday at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Bryant was at Tribeca to premiere the short film “Dear Basketball,” a collaboration with Disney animation legend Glen Keane.
The six-minute, hand-drawn short is based on a poem Bryant wrote in November 2015 and published on the Players’ Tribune website to announce his retirement from basketball.
