Film Independent Accepting Applications for 2010 Directors Lab
Film Independent Accepting Applications for 2010 Directors Lab
Film Independent is accepting applications for its 9th Annual Directors Lab.
Sponsored by Kodak, the Directors Lab is an intensive eight-week program designed to help directors who are prepping feature-length narrative films. The lab takes place in Los Angeles each winter.
The primary focus of the lab is on learning to work with actors and the rehearsal process. Fellows go through a mini-production, learning how to break down a script into a shot list, collaborate with cinematographers, and construct a scene in the editing process. A secondary goal of the program is to help advance the careers of lab fellows by introducing them to established film professionals who can advise them on both the craft and business of directing.
The program is open to first-time directors as well as filmmakers who previously directed shorts and features. Documentary projects are not eligible for application.
The lab is provided free to accepted filmmakers. Upon completion of the lab, filmmakers become Film Independent Fellows and receive year-round support, including access to Film Independent's annual film education offerings, the on-staff Filmmaker Advisor, and the Los Angeles Film Festival. Lab filmmakers are provided a cash stipend for their project and access to camera and sound packages.
A maximum of eight projects will be selected. The application fee is $55 for Film Independent members and $75 for non-members.
