IFP Independent Filmmaker Labs

Call for Entries: First Feature Directors with Documentary or Narrative Films in Post-Production

Documentary Deadline: March 11

Narrative Deadline: April 8

IFP’s Independent Filmmaker Labs are a year-long fellowship supporting independent filmmakers when they need it most: through the completion, marketing, and distribution of their first features. Labs provide community, mentorship, and film-specific strategies to help filmmakers reach their artistic goals, support the film’s launch, and maximize exposure in the global marketplace. The program consists of three focused workshops in spring, fall and winter in New York City.

IFP seeks to ensure that at least half of participating projects have an inclusive range of voices in key positions. We especially encourage female and minority directors to apply, as well as filmmakers from outside NY & LA.

Open to all first time documentary and narrative feature directors with films in post-production. Documentary Applications open now, Narrative Applications open Feb 1! Additional information and online application: www.ifp.org/Labs
