The largest production prize in the world.

AT&T Untold Stories is an impactful multi-year collaboration between AT&T and Tribeca Festival that awards $1-million dollars, comprehensive mentorship and distribution support to the next generation of filmmakers looking to bring their films to the big screen.

 

Experience the million-dollar pitch.

Since 2017, we’ve championed emerging talent by selecting 5 innovative filmmaking teams from a wide applicant pool to pitch their projects in front of an esteemed committee of industry pros — live at the Tribeca Festival.

This high-stakes event culminates in 1 team receiving a $1-million award to make their first feature film.

Our 8th annual Pitch Event will take place on June 5th at Spring Studios, where a limited number of free tickets will be made available to the public. Be part of the excitement and sign up to be notified when 2025 tickets are released.
