10 Lives Studios Brought Three Films to Tribeca on Saturation

The 2026 Tribeca Festival marked the festival's milestone 25th anniversary, running June 3 to 14, and one of the program's more striking storylines belonged to a studio barely three years old. 10 Lives Studios arrived with three films in the official lineup, spanning three very different genres: an arena concert film, an intimate rock portrait, and a hard-hitting social-issue documentary. All three world-premiered at Tribeca. And all three were produced and managed on Saturation.

"We have 3 films at Tribeca. We used Saturation for all three." That is how Steve Moss, VP of Production at 10 Lives Studios, summed up the slate. For a lean independent studio, putting three festival-caliber titles into a single major festival in the same year is the kind of milestone that usually belongs to companies many times its size.

About 10 Lives Studios

Founded in 2023 by seven-time Emmy winner Daniel E. Catullo III, 10 Lives Studios is an Emmy-winning premium content studio headquartered in Nashville with offices in Los Angeles, New York, and London. The studio specializes in live concert films, music documentaries, and social-issue documentary content, and it served as an official partner of the 2026 Tribeca Festival. Its tagline, "Independent. Innovative. Impactful.," fits a team that brought three genre-spanning films to the same festival.

Frampton

Frampton is a career-spanning portrait of British guitarist Peter Frampton, directed and co-written by Rob Arthur, Frampton's longtime bandleader. The documentary traces Frampton's rise through The Herd and Humble Pie, the era-defining success of Frampton Comes Alive!, the commercial collapse that followed, and his 2019 diagnosis with Inclusion Body Myositis, featuring Ringo Starr, Tom Morello, Sheryl Crow, Alice Cooper, Cameron Crowe, and Kate Hudson along the way. It world-premiered in Tribeca's Spotlight+ section on June 4 at the OKX Theater at BMCC TPAC, with Frampton and Arthur on hand for a post-screening conversation. Ultimate Classic Rock called the film "undeniably a success," and Goldmine described it as "a vivid and honest look at his life and career." Producers include 10 Lives' Steve Moss and Andrew Ward.

Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour - Live from Paris

Directed by Paul Dugdale, whose concert work includes films with Adele and the Rolling Stones, Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour - Live from Paris captures two sold-out nights at the Accor Arena in Paris before nearly 40,000 fans, shot with a 60-camera production and built around Perry's 2024 album 143. It world-premiered in Tribeca's Spotlight+ program on June 8 at the OKX Theater at BMCC TPAC, followed by an onstage conversation with Perry. The Hollywood Reporter noted that Perry sat among fans during the screening and sang along; she described the film as "really a concert experience for my fans all over the world." Andrew Ward of 10 Lives produced.

4000 Days

4000 Days is the most personal title of the three, directed, co-written, and produced by 10 Lives founder and CEO Daniel E. Catullo III. The documentary follows three families, the DeVercellys, the Burches, and the Oakeses, who each lost a son to fraternity hazing and turned their grief into a roughly decade-long fight for accountability, a campaign that helped lead to the Stop Campus Hazing Act signed into law in December 2024. It world-premiered in Tribeca's Spotlight Documentary section on June 10 at Village East by Angelika, with Paris Hilton among its executive producers. Early reviews were strong: Eye for Film gave it 5 out of 5, calling it "an important contribution to a still pertinent debate," and Geek Vibes Nation scored it 9 out of 10.

One Festival, One Backbone

Three films, three genres, one studio, and one production-management platform underneath all of them. Rather than spinning up a separate ad hoc workflow for each title, 10 Lives ran budgeting and production tracking for its entire Tribeca slate on Saturation. All three world-premiered at the Tribeca Festival, and for the 10 Lives team the through-line was simple. As Steve Moss put it: "We used Saturation for all three."
