IFP'S 2010 INDEPENDENT FILMMAKER LABS - NARRATIVE LAB DEADLINE, MARCH 26
IFP's Independent Filmmaker Labs is the only program in the U.S. supporting first-time feature directors with projects at the crucial rough cut stage, before they are submitted to festivals. The Labs are a free, week-long workshop in New York offering personalized feedback and advice on all aspects of the post-production process, audience building, and distribution strategies in the digital age, followed by continued support from IFP as the project premieres in the marketplace.

More than half of Lab alumni have gone on to premiere at major festivals - including Berlin, Sundance, SXSW, Toronto, and Venice, and have enjoyed theatrical releases, been broadcast nationally, or released on DVD. Among recent alums, Zeina Durra's 2009 Lab project, The Imperialists Are Still Alive!, produced by Vanessa Hope, premiered in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at Sundance 2010, and director Tarik Tapa is a double Independent Spirit Award nominee this year for Zero Bridge, a 2008 Lab project alum. Criteria and lab applications are available here.

IFP'S 2010 INDEPENDENT FILMMAKER LABS
Narrative Lab – June 7–11, 2010; Application deadline TOMORROW!

The only program in the U.S. supporting first-time feature directors with low-budget, independently produced films at the crucial rough cut/post production stage.

The Labs are a highly immersive, free mentorship program providing professional and creative guidance; pushing directors to realize the full potential of their stories – and careers. This year-long fellowship begins with a week-long intensive in New York, followed by participation in IFP’s Independent Film Week.
