Tribeca Creators Market features a highly curated selection of 40 creators pitching new feature, episodic and audio projects to an array of companies and influential industry leaders. A pillar of Tribeca’s commitment to supporting storytellers in all stages of their careers, the Creators Market puts a strong emphasis on diversity and forms of storytelling, providing industry with a group of fresh and provocative voices.
The Creators Market kicks off with a Works in Progress showcase, offering a group of 8-10 Creators Market storytellers whose projects are in post-production the opportunity to present a ‘sneak-peek’ of their forthcoming feature or episodic project to an audience of accredited industry professionals. Submitters to the Works in Progress event who are selected for the showcase will have the additional opportunity to participate in the Market’s two days of one-on-one meetings (in person and online) with industry representatives.
Eligible Projects: A Feature Project (Fiction or Documentary) or Episodic Project (Fiction or Documentary), currently in the post-production stage. In order to submit to Tribeca Works in Progress, a project must NOT have been showcased at a prior festival or Works in Progress.
