Josh + Benny Safdie's LENNY COOKE Available on VOD 6/7

Josh + Benny Safdie's LENNY COOKE will be available on VOD June 7th. LENNY COOKE marks the first feature-length documentary by the Safdie brothers, who directed the Independent Spirit Award and IFP Gotham Award-nominated HEAVEN KNOWS WHAT, and received the John Cassavetes Award at Spirits for DADDY LONGLEGS.

SYNOPSIS: In 2001, LENNY COOKE was the most hyped high school basketball player in the country, ranked above future greats LeBron James, Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony. A decade later, Lenny has never played a minute in the NBA. In this quintessentially American documentary, filmmaking brothers Joshua and Benny Safdie take a candid look and track the unfulfilled destiny of a man for whom superstardom was only out of reach.

The film was executive produced by two time NCAA champion and Chicago Bull Joakim Noah.
