What are the chances of actually getting rush tickets at the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC?

I'm traveling to New York City for the Easter holiday weekend and thought it'd be cool to take advantage of the fact that the Tribeca Film Festival opens at the same time. But it's late enough now that many of the features are already sold out, leaving only the rush tickets. For rush tickets website says are given on a first-come-first-served basis that people can lineup for an hour before the screening.

Has anyone done this before? Is waiting an hour before realistic or do people wait even longer? Here in Toronto people have waited much longer for TIFF rush tickets without getting them and as I'm just there for a weekend don't want to risk too much time for this.

Specifically I want to see Bang Bang Club... And looking at others.

Best answer: The wait is much longer than an hour and you hardly ever will get in from the line since so many people have advance tickets or wristbands/passes that let them cut you.
Buy tickets to what you can ahead of time, and still show up early. I wouldn't bother with the rush lines.
