At the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, AT&T hosted a mentor event titled the DIRECTV Filmmaker’s Roundtable, providing a platform to help champion storytellers while empowering the next generation of film creatives. The focus this year was to showcase fearless women in filmmaking; those who continue to inspire us and shine a spotlight on underrepresented and overlooked stories in film.
