Tanbark Pictures is a New York based production company founded in 2019 by film producer Caitlin Gold. Tanbark develops, finances, and produces films that celebrate original and daring voices, both undiscovered and established.

 

Caitlin’s films have screened at Sundance, TIFF, Telluride, Berlin, Tribeca, Locarno, AFI, Palm Springs, Doc NYC, and more. She began producing in 2012 with her first feature film, Naomi McDougall Jones’ IMAGINE I’M BEAUTIFUL, released by Screen Media. With a fondness for working with first-time filmmakers, she went on to produce Julia Kots’ debut INEZ & DOUG & KIRA (starring Michael Chernus and Tawny Cypress) and Catherine Eaton’s debut THE SOUNDING (starring Teddy Sears and Harris Yulin).  Venturing into television, she co-produced one of 2020’s highest rated Canadian true crime series, THE OLAND MURDER (aka THE SUSPECT).

 

In 2020, at the start of the pandemic, she shifted her focus to financing, becoming co-founder of The 51 Fund, a private equity fund investing in feature films directed by women. She executive produced Parker Hill and Isabel Bethencourt’s documentary feature CUSP, which premiered in competition at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival and was acquired by Showtime. In 2023, she executive produced Noora Niasari's feature directorial debut, SHAYDA which premiered at Sundance and won the Audience Award in the World Cinema Dramatic competition. The film was acquired by Sony Pictures Classics and became Australia’s official contender for Best International Feature Film at the 2024 Oscars.  

 

On behalf of Tanbark, Caitlin most recently executive produced Tina Satter’s highly acclaimed debut REALITY, starring Sydney Sweeney, which was nominated for a 2023 Gotham award for Best Feature and was released on HBO/Max. Next up for Tanbark is Kate Beecroft’s EAST OF WALL and Will and Aaron Eisenberg’s GRAND JUNCTION.
