"Independent filmmaking has never been tougher, and too many vital stories never make it to the screen. Untold Stories changes that,"
"It doesn't just give filmmakers the means to create - it helps ensure their work is seen. With funding, mentorship, and distribution support, the program opens doors that might otherwise stay shut. This expanded prize will give bold storytellers the chance to dream bigger, go further, and reach the audiences their stories deserve."
The Tribeca Festival and AT&T raised the AT&T Untold Stories top production prize from $1 million to $1.2 million for the festival's 25th anniversary in 2026. The program provides funding, mentorship and support to an emerging filmmaker, awarding one filmmaker full financing to produce a feature and a guaranteed Tribeca premiere. Launched in 2017, the program has supported 40 projects and produced eight winning films, some securing distribution on platforms like Netflix and HBO Max. Applications for the 2026 award are open through Feb. 6, and the winner will receive the $1.2 million grant at the next festival.
