Tribeca Festival Announces 2025 Creators Market Projects
The highly-anticipated Tribeca Creators Market is almost here, and IndieWire can reveal the buzzy projects selected for the three-day, invitation-only industry marketplace event. The 2025 Tribeca Festival, presented by OKX, has unveiled the slate of features, series, and audio projects that were chosen to be part of the Creators Market, in partnership with Indeed.
The Tribeca Creators Market will take place from June 9 to 11, and connect rising filmmakers and content creators with industry executives, financiers, and distributors to foster the production of indie projects. This year marks the first-ever open submissions call for the Works in Progress showcase; 12 narrative and documentary filmmakers were selected to preview their feature or episodic projects to financiers, festival programmers, and producers. Past Works in Progress alums include Cristian Carretero and Lorraine Jones Molina, who are debuting their 'Esta Isla' during the 2025 Tribeca Festival, and Raul Paz-Pastrana, who helmed Tribeca pick 'Backside.'
