Culture Creators curated an electric evening in New York City to celebrate the highly anticipated premiere of They Fight at the 2026 Tribeca Festival.
A night where film, culture and community collided
On Monday, June 8, some of entertainment’s most recognized names gathered in New York City for an exclusive afterparty celebrating the Tribeca Festival premiere of They Fight. The event, curated by Culture Creators, brought together a compelling mix of acclaimed actors, industry executives, filmmakers, and cultural tastemakers for an evening that felt as vibrant and purposeful as the film it was celebrating.
The atmosphere throughout the night reflected the energy of both the festival and New York City itself, with guests moving freely through the space, forging connections and celebrating the kind of powerful storytelling that They Fight represents. For Culture Creators, an organization with a long track record of assembling influential voices across entertainment, sports, media, and business, the evening was another demonstration of its ability to create experiences that feel genuinely meaningful rather than simply celebratory.
The star-studded guest list
The afterparty drew an impressive array of talent that underscored just how much excitement surrounds They Fight ahead of its July 17 premiere on Hulu. Among the notable names in attendance were acclaimed actress and director Tasha Smith, whose presence brought both creative credibility and infectious energy to the room. Award-winning actor Wendell Pierce, widely celebrated for his work across television and film, was also on hand, as was acclaimed actor Andre Holland, whose reputation for taking on layered and challenging roles has made him one of the most respected performers working today.
Actor Russell Hornsby, another familiar face from some of television’s most compelling dramatic series, added to the star power in the room, while NBA standout Robert Covington represented the world of professional sports among the evening’s guests. Rounding out the crowd was a broad collection of filmmakers, executives, and cultural leaders whose collective influence spans virtually every corner of the entertainment industry.
DJ Kiss kept the energy alive all night
No afterparty is complete without the right soundtrack, and renowned DJ Kiss delivered on that front throughout the evening. Her eclectic musical selections kept guests engaged from start to finish, weaving together sounds that honored both the spirit of the Tribeca Festival and the creative pulse of New York City. The result was an atmosphere that felt celebratory without ever losing the sense of cultural intentionality that Culture Creators is known for bringing to its events.
