Tribeca aims to help filmmakers

April 22, 2008 "People come from all over the world and pay outrageous amounts for hotels, and we wanted to offer them more services," explains Nancy Schafer, the festival's co-director. After several years of casually connecting participants, Tribeca will now have a concierge desk where registered participants can request meetings with other festivalgoers. There will also be more opportunities to network through "Tribeca All Access," now in its fifth year, where 37 directors and screenwriters will have a chance to meet more than 100 industry contacts.
