Miya Cech looks so pretty while stepping out at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday evening (June 17) in New York City.
The teen actress premiered her upcoming new movie Marvelous and the Black Hole, along with her co-stars Leonardo Nam and Kannon Omachi, as well as writer/director Kate Tsang.
The 13-year-old The Astronauts actress had the world premiere of her new film Marvelous and the Black Hole at the festival, which started last week on Thursday, January 28th and wraps up tomorrow (February 3).
Here’s a synopsis: A teenage delinquent (Cech) befriends a surly magician (Rhea Perlman) who helps her navigate her inner demons and dysfunctional family with sleight of hand magic. A coming of age comedy that touches on unlikely friendships, grief, and finding hope in the darkest moments.
Miya shared with us what it was like attending the virtual festival, and which of her looks was her favorite.
“Even though my first Sundance Film Festival was virtual, I still wanted my outfits to reflect how excited I was to be a part of Sundance,” she told JJJ. “My premiere dress was my favorite color (light blue) and I felt that the style was timeless, classic and perfect to celebrate a film based on magic.”
“I feel so lucky that Marvelous and the Black Hole premiered at such an iconic event and I hope to be able to go to Sundance in person one day!” she added.
Miya is getting a lot of praise for her role as Sammy Ko in the upcoming movie, and we can’t wait until it comes out!

“One of my favorite parts of working on The Astronauts is the zero G. There isn’t any gravity in space, so we get to do a lot of wire work,” Ben said. “Twenty odd feet in the air. Literally redefining ‘hanging out.’”
“It’s like having balloons under your arms, and pretty much just slow motion [movements],” Kayden added.
The show’s stunt coordinator, Rob “Sluggo” Boyce, also dished on all the wire work and stunt movements.
“The show we’re working on takes place in space, so there’s zero gravity,” he says in the video. “Through many of the episodes, they’re just hanging from the ceiling and we’re floating around, puppeteering them, getting to do what we need them to do.”
