Film Director Dori Berinstein's latest project, "Larger Than Life," looks at the career of Broadway star Carol Channing, who at 90 years old is still performing. It premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival on Saturday.

"Carol is one of a kind, she is totally iconic, she is a legendary Broadway performer, but she is this spectacular vivacious person on stage and off," says Berinstein.

The film is Berinstein's third entry in the Tribeca Film Festival. She is also a Tony award winning producer of Broadway shows whose credits include "Legally Blonde," "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" and "The Crucible." She says she was hooked on theater at the age of five after seeing a production of Hello Dolly with Channing.

"I remember it vividly, and my mother tells me after I saw that I was just dancing around the house pretending to be in a parade, it really did change my life because I was just obsessed with theatre from that point on," recalls Berinstein.

In the film, Channing talks about just some of the many people she worked with and met over the years, including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and her children.

Berinstein says she recently showed Channing the film, and the performer gave it rave reviews.

"I wanted her to at the end, to tell me this is honest, this is real, this is my life, and that's what she told me," says Berinstein.

Berinstein hopes everyone will enjoy the film, and says Tribeca is the perfect place for it to make its debut to the public.

"In terms of how they take care of and nurture the film makers that are here and really support the work and give you so many opportunities to really showcase your film in a very, very special way," says Berinstein.

Berinstein adds the festival is an event you look forward to, because there is something there for everybody.
