Untold Stories
AT&T and Tribeca give filmmakers a shot at $1 million to make their movie through the AT&T Presents: Untold Stories program. This multi-year, multi-tier alliance stems from AT&T's commitment to develop and support underrepresented storytellers.
Now in its sixth year, the program awards one filmmaker 1 million dollars to make their first feature film, along with mentorship and distribution. Four other finalists are given development funds to create their pitches, and Fan Favorites are awarded additional prizes. The winning film premieres at the following Tribeca Festival.
