Tribeca’s Post

Tribeca Studios is launching a new initiative to prioritize authentic portrayals of patient and disease experiences in entertainment. Sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company, the Vital Stories program seeks to address underrepresentation and misrepresentation of health conditions in media by supporting creators in telling more accurate, empathetic, and inclusive stories — and bringing them to audiences on a major stage. The Vital Stories Creative Summit launches this effort by providing creative development and mentorship to a select group of talented screenwriters and directors dedicated to authentic portrayals of health and treatment. From this group, three projects will be selected to receive full support for short film or proof-of-concept production, plus a guaranteed premiere during the 2026 Tribeca Festival (and additional support throughout distribution).
