TRIBECA ALL ACCESS CONNECTS

Tribeca All Access (TAA) Connects brings under-represented filmmakers and established film funders together, promotes emerging and established talent, and fosters new long-term working relationships.

TAA Connects seeks feature-length narrative and documentary film projects currently seeking funding and with a U.S.-based director(s) who identifies as African American, Asian American, Latino, Native American or Pacific Islander. TAA Connects also seeks screenplays that have not been optioned, DO NOT have any director(s) or producer(s) attached and are written by U.S.-based, unrepresented screenwriters of color, as defined above.

The main component of TAA Connects is a series of 30-minute meetings between selected filmmakers and invited industry representatives. The program runs for five days during the Tribeca Film Festival, beginning with an orientation day and followed by four days of meetings. Other activities include panels and networking events.
