News / Film Former Atlantan Brian Newman new Tribeca head
Posted by Felicia Feaster on Mon, Mar 3, 2008 at 5:30 PM
Brian Newman, who many moons ago was the director of IMAGE Film and Video, has just taken a quantum leap forward in supporting directors and artists working in film.
Check out Brian’s blog here.
IndieWire and Variety both carried stories today about Newman’s new job as the CEO of the Tribeca Film Institute, an East Coast version of the Sundance Film Institute. The $5.5 million nonprofit TFI will address the growing lack of funding for indie film artists by offering financial support for filmmakers and new media artists.
I last saw Brian back in 2006 when he pegged me for the 2006 Media Arts Fellowship panel. That experience, helping dole out funding to a variety of filmmakers and artists, made me appreciate in a very practical way how many talented filmmakers there are out there so deserving of support.
Right now TFI is looking for a new home that will also feature exhibition space, screening space and studios.
