The largest film production prize in the world — now even bigger
At the 2026 Tribeca Festival, 5 new filmmaking teams will pitch their original feature scripted film projects to an esteemed committee of industry professionals to decide who will be the next $1.2 million dollar recipient.
The winning film will be guaranteed a premiere at the *2027 Tribeca Festival and the additional 4 finalist teams will receive a $15,000 grant for development support.
Throughout the year, our AT&T Untold Stories winner receives unmatched guidance on the filmmaking process, demonstrating a holistic commitment from AT&T and Tribeca. Tribeca Studios works closely with the winner, offering creative feedback, giving script notes, and providing production, casting and crew consultations. We also coordinate screenings of rough cuts to ensure the film is festival ready. Beyond the expert support provided before the world premiere at Tribeca Festival, the winner is also counseled on their film’s festival strategy, distribution plan and more.
Participating films receive extensive exposure for their stories through dedicated content and press opportunities. Films in the AT&T Untold Stories community have the potential to connect with industry and audiences alike, screening in festivals around the globe.
