New York, NY, (May 8, 2025) - The 2025 Tribeca Festival, presented by OKX, today announced the full lineup for its inaugural Storytelling Summit, a new 11-day industry gathering designed to empower independent filmmakers and the creative community through keynotes, workshops, panels, case studies, and curated networking events. Taking place June 5-15 at Spring Studios, this festival within a festival builds on Tribeca's 20+ year legacy of artist development and expands access to the Festival's creative and professional network.

For $250, the Storytelling Summit offers emerging and mid-career creators the opportunity to engage directly with industry leaders and attend curated sessions, exclusive events, networking opportunities, and select Tribeca Festival screenings.

The Summit runs daily from 11am-7pm and features six thematic tracks plus a daily meetup:

Luminaries: In-depth talks with visionary artists, including boundary-pushing filmmaker and Tribeca alum Nia DaCosta (Little Woods, TF 18), as she reflects on her career trajectory-from reimagining the iconic Candyman to joining the Marvel Universe with The Marvels. Also featured are creative powerhouses David Leitch and Kelly McCormick, who will discuss their collaborative advocacy for stunt design as a vital storytelling tool, and their highly anticipated sequel, Nobody 2.

Industry Now: Practical guidance on producing, financing, and distribution, such as Emmy -nominated Leslye Headland (Russian Doll) and Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker and Tribeca alum Mich le Stephenson (Black Girls Play, TF 23), as they share how they choose their stories-and the mediums that best bring them to life.

Case Studies: Deep dives into standout Tribeca Festival projects, including a conversation with celebrated actor and producer Lucy Liu, director Eric Lin and cast member Lawrence Shou of Rosemead, an Official Selection of the 2025 Tribeca Festival.

Connect: Targeted networking with talent reps, buyers, funders, and more, including Distributors Ask Me (Almost) Anything, featuring senior executives from Focus Features and Searchlight Pictures.

Next Wave: Dissections on the future of storytelling from gaming, AI, podcasting, and immersive media.

Speed Sessions: Quick-hit expert takes on hot-button issues including AI and ethical storytelling.

Storytelling Summit Wrap-Up: Each day concludes with a casual meetup for creators to meet and continue conversations sparked during the day.

Building on Tribeca's 24 year legacy of supporting independent filmmakers, our inaugural Storytelling Summit opens the doors even wider to the festival's unrivaled creative community and catalytic networking ecosystem for everyone with a story to tell, said Tribeca Festival Director and SVP of Programming Cara Cusumano. As our industry continues to face unprecedented headwinds, Tribeca remains a steadfast homebase for independent voices to connect, uplift, and inspire one another.

Since its founding, the Tribeca Festival has supported thousands of emerging and underrepresented artists, and the Storytelling Summit represents the festival's continued commitment to this tradition. Storytelling Summit badges include access to this full slate of programming, a networking lounge within Spring Studios, access to the Festival's rush line, and complimentary day-of tickets to select screenings and events.
