Tribeca Studios and OpenAI to Establish AI-Integrated Short Film Program (EXCLUSIVE)
Briefly

Tribeca Studios is collaborating with OpenAI on a year-long program for two filmmakers to create live-action shorts using AI tools, premiering at the 2026 Tribeca Festival. Selected filmmakers will receive funding, training, and mentorship, along with access to OpenAI's technology. This initiative aims to innovate traditional filmmaking in a collaborative spirit. Previous initiatives, like Sora Shorts, have paved the way for AI's role in filmmaking, ensuring compliance with industry guild guidelines. The program embodies Tribeca's commitment to creativity and artistic exploration as filmmaking evolves.
At Tribeca, storytelling is at the heart of everything we do - and innovation is key to its future. Partnering with OpenAI allows us to be at the forefront of a new creative frontier, where AI is not a replacement, but another powerful tool in a filmmaker's toolkit.
Filmmakers have always pushed the boundaries of storytelling, and this program is about supporting that spirit with tools to enhance traditional filmmaking pipelines.
