Distribution Label From Tribeca Enterprises and Giant Pictures Supports Independent Film Across Streaming Platforms
NEW YORK, NY - (November 20, 2024) - Tribeca Films, the distribution label from Tribeca Enterprises and Giant Pictures, today announced seven films picked up for U.S. distribution: The Featherweight directed by Robert Kolodny, The Graduates directed by Hannah Peterson, Tendaberry directed by Haley Elizabeth Anderson, Born Hungry directed by Barry Avrich, Egghead & Twinkie directed by Sarah Kambe Holland, Wild Goat Surf directed by Caitlyn Sponheimer, and Family Therapy directed by Sonja Prosenc. This is the second set of acquisitions for the distribution label since it launched in April 2024.
In less than a year, Tribeca Films has acquired 15 titles from leading festivals around the world, furthering our support of emerging filmmakers and independent cinema, said Tribeca Enterprises Co-Founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal. We're excited to introduce this new slate of indies to wider audiences, including two narratives that world premiered at Tribeca Festival - Hannah Peterson's The Graduates and Sonja Prosenc's Family Therapy.
In keeping with Tribeca's legacy of supporting emerging and underrepresented filmmakers, five of the seven films-The Graduates, Egghead & Twinkie, Wild Goat Surf, Tendaberry, and The Featherweight-are directed by first-time directors; additionally, five of the projects are directed by women. The U.S. rights were acquired following premieres at the Tribeca Festival, Venice International Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival, Palm Springs International Film Festival, and the Vancouver International Film Festival.
The full slate will stream on Kanopy, Kinema, Fandango At Home, Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube Movies & TV, Xfinity On Demand, DirecTV, The Roku Channel, Tubi, Pluto TV, Sling TV, Peacock, Plex, and XUMO, as well as the Tribeca Channel.
