Spring has arrived, which means its time for a new round of first time filmmakers to learn from the experts that the IFP pulls together during their IFP Independent Filmmaker Labs. The Labs are a national program connecting mentors and projects before they are submitted to festivals.
The Doc labs are set for 4/13 – 4/17 and the narrative labs for 6/8 – 6/12. While the doc lab submissions are closed the narrative lab submission deadline is April 17. Apply now.
Led by experienced producers, the Labs assist filmmakers in tackling the creative challenges of completing their modestly-budgeted, independently produced films – getting a leg-up before industry exposure. The five-day mentorship program in NYC challenges filmmakers to realize the full potential of their footage and stories with ongoing dynamic feedback and advice on technical & creative issues and distribution methods. The Labs are for first-time, narrative feature directors in the late stages of post-production.
