"Independent filmmaking has never been tougher, and too many vital stories never make it to the screen. Untold Stories changes that," said Jane Rosenthal, CEO and Co-Founder of Tribeca Enterprises. "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."
