Calendar – Past Event

WHAT: Designed to help filmmakers who are currently in production or post-production on their feature-length documentary films, Film Independent's inaugural Documentary Lab is an intensive seven-week program running in Los Angeles in March and April 2011.  The program is sponsored by Latino Public Broadcasting, and is the first new Lab since 2001.
 
The Lab's focus is two-fold: (1) provide creative feedback and story notes to the selected filmmakers and (2) help filmmakers strategize the completion, distribution, and marketing of their film.
 
 Additionally, the program serves to advance the careers of Lab Fellows by introducing them to film professionals who can advise them on both the craft and business of documentary filmmaking.  Lab Fellows have one-on-one meetings with established documentary filmmakers (directors, producers, editors), and other industry professionals who act as advisors on the participants' projects.
    
DETAILS: Documentary Lab Fellows Also Receive:
·       One-year membership to Film Independent
·       A pass to the Los Angeles Film Festival (City Pass)
·       One-on-one consultations with Film Independent's Filmmaker Advisor
·       Year-round support from Film Independent
