Tina Charles may spend most of her time right now in Washington, D.C. playing for the Washington Mystics, but she is well on her way to making the Tribeca Film Festival her second home.

“Charlie’s Records,” Charles’ first film, premiered at the festival in 2019, and she returned to the red carpet on Jun. 17 for the premiere of her short film “Game Changer,” which she directed and produced. The film tells the story of Tanya DePass, who is working to make the gaming industry more inclusive for everyone, including people like her.
