The “Behind the Camera House” heads to New York City for a one-day summit activation during this year’s Tribeca Festival.

Taking place on Friday, June 6, 2025, the summit is produced by Impact24 PR, co-hosted by People’s Television, and led by programmer Jocelyne Roman. The event will take place at the production offices of People’s Television.
The day begins at 3:30 p.m. ET with the “Lens on Change: Storytelling as Social Commentary” panel.

Executive Producer at Shade Studios and Host at ShadeTV, Marissa Hill, will be moderating the conversation.
The second panel, “Bold Voices: Expanding the Narrative in Feature Filmmaking,” will bring together creatives whose bold, diverse stories span genres and themes, highlighting the power of inclusive storytelling in today’s cinema. Featured panelists are costume designer Brittany Ann Cormack (She Dances), composer Freya Berkhout (Ride or Die), and editor Sara Newens (Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore).
