 The Tribeca Film Institute (TFI) announced the winners of the Tribeca All Access (TAA) Creative Promise Awards presented by Time Warner at a ceremony last night. The narrative Rhymes for Young Ghouls and the documentary The New Black were selected from 11 projects based on the strength of their vision and filmmaking promise. Each project received $10,000, as well as an original piece of art from a contemporary artist. Rhymes for Young Ghouls took home Stephen Hannock's Study: A Recent History of Art in Southern California (Mass MoCA #169), 2012 and The New Black received Hugo Tillman's The Echeverria, 2008. The Institute also announced this year's TAA alumni grants and fellowships during the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival. The grants, all presented last night, total $92,000 in funds. Now in its ninth year, TAA was created to help foster and nurture relationships between film industry executives and filmmakers from traditionally underrepresented communities. The 2012 TAA Creative Promise narrative jurors were Rosario Dawson, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Mekhi Phifer, and Gabourey Sidibe. The award's documentary jurors were Claire Aguilar, Julie Goldman, Eugene Hernandez, Jean Tsien, and Debbie Zimmerman.
