The Tribeca Film Festival is celebrating its 22nd anniversary in New York City. It is a big part of the festival circuit and we at No Film School love everything about it. From how it got its start, to the great networking benefits to attending.

In today’s episode, No Film School’s Charles Haine and GG Hawkins discuss:

The history of the Tribeca Film Festival
Differences between Tribeca and Sundance
GG’s experience attending the 2023 festival
Reconnecting with people at the festival
The importance of taking time to attend film festivals
Excited to watch the show Jury Duty

Plus, we share a short conversation with director - writer, Ethan Berger. He describes the process of creating his feature film, The Line, which premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival. The film portrays the blind adherence to tradition told through the lens of a fictional college fraternity. The film is both cringey, yet fascinating to watch and is the perfect examination of what is wrong with the tradition that still exists on college campuses.
