This year, the Tribeca Festival will be hosting a mini-festival, called the Storytelling Summit, where up-and-coming and established storytellers have the chance to interact with influential figures in the entertainment industry such as Nia DaCosta, David Leitch, Leslye Headland, and Lucy Liu.
Over an eleven-day period, from June 5th to June 15th, Spring Studios will host a series of discussions, workshops, presentations of real-world examples, and networking opportunities, all organized under six main topics.
The Luminaries series will feature extensive discussions with artists such as DaCosta, delving into her professional journey encompassing films like “Candyman” and “The Marvels”. Additionally, married producing partners Leitch and Kelly McCormick will share their views on the role of stunt design in storytelling and discuss their upcoming projects including “Nobody 2” sequel, “Problemista”, “Fantasmas”, as well as Julio Torres’ creativity. Other talks will include Steve Buscemi, Tribeca co-founder Jane Rosenthal, and Jeremy O. Harris.
Industry Now workshops will offer insights into the process of creating, funding, and distributing content, with a focus on selecting compelling narratives and formats, provided by Headland and acclaimed documentary filmmaker Michèle Stephenson.
The summit will likewise feature case studies on projects from the Tribeca Festival, such as a discussion with the creators of the 2025 pick “Rosemead“: actress-producer Liu, director Eric Lin, and cast member Lawrence Shou.
Additionally, you’ll have networking chances with industry professionals such as talent representatives, buyers, investors, and others; a Q&A session titled “Distributors, I Have Almost Everything You Need to Know” featuring executives from Focus Features and Searchlight; and the option to delve into — occasionally receiving instant insights — the upcoming trends in storytelling across gaming, AI, podcasting, immersive media, and more.
And each day concludes with a casual mixer for creators to meet and continue conversations.
At the heart of Tribeca’s 24-year commitment to independent filmmakers lies our first Storytelling Summit. This event invites even more people into the vibrant creative world of our festival and its powerful networking environment, especially for those with a tale to share,” said Cara Cusumano, Festival Director and Senior VP of Programming, in a statement. “Amidst the unpredictable challenges that our industry is currently experiencing, Tribeca remains a constant refuge where independent voices can come together, encourage each other, and ignite inspiration.

The 2025 Tribeca Festival runs from June 4-15 in New York.
