The Tribeca Festival, in partnership with AT&T, has begun accepting applications for the 10th edition of the AT&T Untold Stories program. This initiative supports emerging filmmakers by offering a major opportunity to develop and produce their first feature film. The program is part of a broader effort to nurture new talent in the film industry and encourage diverse storytelling.
The highlight of the program is a production prize of $1.2 million, awarded to one selected director. This prize, which was raised from $1 million in previous years, is now the largest unrestricted film prize of its kind. The money can be used for any aspect of film production, giving the winner significant creative freedom and financial support to bring their vision to life.
Tribeca and AT&T have emphasized the importance of this program in fostering innovation and providing a platform for underrepresented voices in cinema. Over the past decade, the Untold Stories initiative has helped launch the careers of several filmmakers, offering them not only financial backing but also mentorship and industry connections.
As the program enters its tenth year, the increased prize amount reflects a continued commitment to supporting emerging talent. Filmmakers from around the world are invited to submit their proposals, with the hope that the selected project will contribute meaningfully to the evolving landscape of independent cinema.
