Tribeca Films, the distribution label from Tribeca Enterprises and Giant Pictures, has set multi-year partnerships with Kanopy and Kinema to stream the label’s catalog of independent festival films.

The first-of-their-kind output agreements will make it easier for festival favorites to reach wider audiences. And the deals create important revenue structures for independent films.

Tribeca is the first festival to license films with Kanopy and Kinema, and Kanopy is the exclusive educational and public library streaming partner for the label.

Kanopy works with libraries and universities to stream content without fees or commercials and Kinema is a direct-to-consumer exhibition platform, with a “pay what you wish” feature, for filmmakers and non-theatrical distributors to deliver live screenings to audiences in person or virtually on demand.

“Tribeca is a leading destination for filmmakers—from developing a project with Tribeca Studios, premiering at the annual Festival, to distributing with Tribeca Films. We seek to champion independent cinema,...

General Hospital spoilers suggest Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) is up to his old tricks. If anyone knows how to play the field in Port Charles, it’s this guy.

Natalia Ramirez (Eva Larue) has been charmed by Sonny since the moment they met, but she hasn’t gone so far as to get intimate with him just yet. There have been too many missing pieces to Sonny’s stories that just don’t add up, and he hasn’t been as direct as she generally is.

So when he finally lays it all out for her and lets her know he’s there for the taking, will she see that as a sign of openness on his part, or will she be wise enough to understand this is exactly how Sonny gets a woman to give up her own governance and walk blindly into a situation she should’ve seen coming?...

Brendan Quinn, whose role in Netflix’s “One Day” landed him a best supporting nod at the National Film Awards UK, has joined the ensemble cast of “Scene House,” a dark comedy penned and directed by Annabella Fazio.

Quinn stars alongside Netflix alum Safiyya Ingar (“The Witcher”), Nell Williams (“Blinded by the Light”), Denzel Baidoo (“Last Swim”), Selina Jones (“Raised by Wolves”), Aaron Teoh (“Wicked”) and Ivy Freeman-Attwood (“Two Neighbors”).

Looking at societal obsession with celebrity culture, the short film is set in a dystopian future where actors inhabit an enclosed area called The Scene House – an unsettling hybrid of a theme park and museum. Here, observers pay to enter and, for an additional cost, interact with the actors. One of these Actors, played by Jones, begins to question their existence in The Scene House as the boundaries blur between performance and reality.

“Scene House” is executive produced by Sarah Carter,...

Talwalkar's character Neil was written off in Season 2 due to creative changes, replaced by Nyambi Nyambi as Wyatt Shaw. Nyambi Nyambi, known for Mike & Molly and The Good Fight, brings charm and wit to Night Court as the court clerk Wyatt Shaw. Nyambi Nyambi hopes to explore Wyatt's chaotic home life and personal struggles in future Night Court episodes.

When NBC's Night Court officially debuted in 2023, Melissa Rauch, India de Beaufort, Kapil Talwalkar, Lacretta, and John Larroquette led the revival of Reinhold Weege's original series. However, the show underwent a major cast change prior to its second season when Talwalkar's character, Neil Valluri, was written off due to creative changes. Nyambi Nyambi has since taken on the court clerk role as Wyatt Shaw, a "quick-witted and sarcastic" recently divorced father of two girls.

Nyambi Nyambi is not new to the comedy genre, having starred in over 100 episodes of the hit CBS sitcom,...
