Josh + Benny Safdie's LENNY COOKE Available Now on VOD

LENNY COOKE comes to VOD today, June 7th via Under the Milky Way. The film is available on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, Vudu, Microsoft, Vubiquity, and Vimeo.

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.

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.

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