'Freaky Tales,' directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, brings to life stories inspired by Oakland's vibrant culture and history. Set to release on April 4 after its Sundance 2024 premiere, the film features interwoven tales that reflect local legends and personal experiences. With Too Short as executive producer and a cameo role, the movie explores themes deeply rooted in the Bay Area, including a robbery related to basketball great Eric 'Sleepy' Floyd. The diverse cast, featuring stars like Pedro Pascal and Tom Hanks, enhances its appeal.
The film features four interconnecting Bay Area stories that range from myths about a robbery at Warriors legend Eric "Sleepy" Floyd's home to a rap battle.
Fleck voiced, "I've been thinking about [the film] ever since that Sleepy Floyd game on May 10, 1987... it felt like the underdogs could at least win one."
