Film Independent’s [FIND] 2005 Producers Lab
Submission Deadline EXTENDED TO: Friday, September 2, 2005
Film Independent [FIND] (formerly IFP/Los Angeles) is now accepting submissions for its 2005 Producers Lab. A maximum of ten producers will be chosen for this intensive seven-week program, designed to help filmmakers develop skills as creative producers.
In the Lab, participants get their projects in the best possible shape before seeking financing or going into production. Participants develop a strategy and formal action plan for bringing their projects to fruition – including a budget, schedule and business plan. Lab participants also have one-on-one meetings with professional advisors – established producers, directors, and other industry professionals. The filmmakers also receive a complimentary pass to Film Independent’s annual Producer Series, which runs concurrently.
All participants in the 2005 Producers Lab will receive free EP Budgeting and Scheduling software. Film Independent thanks Entertainment Partners for generously providing EP Budgeting 6.1, and 11 EP Scheduling 4.1 to the Lab participants - these are the very latest versions of the software.
The Film Independent Filmmaker Labs are the incubators for the next generation of independent filmmakers. Committed to cultivating writers, directors, and producers with strong, original voices, the Labs provide filmmakers with the opportunity to develop their new work in a nurturing yet challenging creative environment.
Past Lab Instructors include Effie Brown (Real Women Have Curves), Eric d'Arbeloff (Lovely and Amazing), Alison Dickey (Piggie), Matthew Greenfield (The Good Girl), and Jasmine Kosovic (D.E.B.S.).
