The story
Founded by Jane Rosenthal and Robert De Niro in 1989, in Tribeca.1
The company was founded in 1989 at the beginning of a revival of interest in the film production community in filming in New York City. Before the 1990s, it made more economic sense for production companies to film urban scenes in cities, including Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver in Canada. Since the founding of Tribeca Productions, other production facilities have moved into various neighborhoods in New York City, and filming there and in the streets has again become commonplace.
In 2003, De Niro, Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff moved the company, and changed the name into Tribeca Enterprises, which organizes the Tribeca Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival International, Tribeca Cinemas, and Tribeca Films.
