Tribeca All Access (TAA)

TAA is now open to filmmakers from around the globe. At least four grants will support filmmakers living and working in Latin America (Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America).

Applicants must be at least 18-years old.

Scripted Programs:
-Applicants are required to apply with a thorough treatment and, if available, a feature-length screenplay, with or without a director attached.
-Only ONE submission per applicant is allowed unless applicant is working on another project in a different role.
-Films intending to be subtitled are eligible, but the submitted screenplay must be in English.
-If a director is attached to the project, ONE full sample of the director’s prior work must be supplied via an online-streaming source (YouTube, Vimeo) or DVD. Sample work must be a minimum of 5 consecutive minutes in length, though longer is encouraged. (Examples of prior work may include a webisode, short film, feature film, music video, commercial, etc.). DO NOT provide reels or more than two samples of prior work, except if there is more than one director attached to the project.
-Submissions must NOT have been distributed in theaters or have aired on any form of television, internet streaming, or public screening prior to February 2020.

Documentary Programs:
-Applicants are required to apply with a thorough treatment that outlines the intended shape of the documentary, introduces the subject(s) and/or locale(s), and provides an overview of the production team and budget.
-Eligible documentary projects may be in pre-production/development, production, or post-production.
-Projects in pre-production or development should have already secured access to their subject(s) and put a suggestive storyline in place.
- Directors may apply with their first or second feature film.
-Edited footage (e.g. trailer, teaser, rough-cut) should be submitted via a URL (e.g. Vimeo, YouTube) or a mailed DVD. Sample work from the project can be in any language or dialect; however, if it is not in English it must carry English subtitles.
-Applicants with projects in pre-production or development that do not have sample footage of the current work need to submit a previous work sample in order to be eligible for support. Any footage submitted must be at least 7 minutes in length.
-Submissions must NOT have been distributed in theaters or have aired on any form of television, internet streaming, or public screening prior to February 2020.
