22.09.2023 - 16:33 / deadline.com
Former studio executive and prolific producer Paula Weinstein is leaving Tribeca Enterprises, where she’s been chief content officer for the past decade, to jump into political work and help “as many voices as possible be heard.”

Both statewide and national campaigns,” she tells Deadline. “It just feels very much like a moment…between the climate, and book banning and everything else that I don’t need to go into.”
In a memo to staff this morning, Tribeca CEO Jane Rosenthal said Weinstein will “devote her efforts to fighting for the preservation and advancement of human and women’s rights, and most urgently the upcoming elections.” She will also continue to consult for Tribeca. Next summer’s festival, dates just announced, would have been her 12th.
Weinstein’s position, which was unique to her history in the industry, skills as a producer, and focus on advocacy and mentorship, will be absorbed by different teams at Tribeca.

I will always look up to you, Paula Weinstein!”
Weinstein said she’s proud that “there’s no area of storytelling that Tribeca isn’t exploring,” as the festival gradually expanded from film into television, audio storytelling,
