Beyond her achievements as a prolific producer, Rosenthal has had a transformative impact on the cultural landscape. In 2001, following the September 11th terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, Rosenthal and Robert De Niro established the Tribeca Film Festival (now Tribeca Festival) as a catalyst for New York City’s economic and cultural revitalization. The festival’s inaugural edition, which opened with remarks by Nelson Mandela, became a symbol of resilience and the power of storytelling to unite and heal communities. Since its launch, the festival has contributed well over $750 million in economic impact to Manhattan and has expanded to champion storytelling across film, television, music, audio, games, and immersive experiences.
For more than two decades, Rosenthal has been an advocate of emerging and underrepresented voices. Through the annual Tribeca Festival and its artist development programs, she has mentored thousands of storytellers. Each year, Tribeca provides a platform for rising artists, with many participants going on to shape the future of cinema, including Damien Chazelle, Jon M. Chu, Ryan Coogler, the Daniels, A.V. Rockwell and Chloé Zhao.
A dedicated humanitarian and activist, Rosenthal serves on boards for the National 9/11 Memorial & Museum, Global Citizen, JR’s Can Art Change the World, Child Mind Institute, Casa Komos Brand Group and interactive media company Eko.
