It’s easy to approach as of yet with the same cynicism that one approaches many other pandemic-shot films that take place over text messages, group chats, and video calls. Why, God, why do we need or want to see one of these? We lived it. Why would anyone in their right mind want to see a series of Zoom calls at the movies?

Thankfully, as of yet gets a little more mileage out of a tired concept, here embracing the inequities and impacts of the Covid era as writer/co-director Taylor Garron stars as Naomi, a young woman who has stayed in New York while roommate Sarah (Eva Victor) has relocated to Florida to be with her family. College friends that have grown apart, Sarah is shocked to find out Naomi is considering breaking the lockdown to have a socially distant date in the park with Reed (Amir Khan...

The coronavirus pandemic disrupted, among many other parts of life, how people communicate. As conversations migrated to Zoom, nonverbal gestures — eye contact and subtle facial expressions — were harder to discern, making it more difficult to talk about needs and set necessary boundaries. As of Yet, a new film directed by Taylor Garron and Chanel James, delightfully, if slightly predictably, tackles those challenges.

For many distributors and sales agents, the Tribeca Festival — which kicks off Wednesday — marks a major milestone: The first American festival in over a year offering an in-person venue to make deals for finished films. But the dealmaking will mirror the festival itself, which will offer in-person programming across the New York City’s five boroughs as well as a robust online component for out-of-towners.

The decentralized festival means that this year, Tribeca won’t be defined by making the daily trek to Manhattan to watch films and take meetings. New York-based agents and buyers say they’re looking forward to meeting in person and leveraging the long-awaited return of word-of-mouth buzz. But many in Los Angeles are still relying on Zoom and the festival’s online platform to do their work.

Maria Zuckerman, head of Topic Studios, has three films at the festival, all for sale: the Vanessa Kirby-starring “Italian Studies,...
