Exclusive excerpts from the 20 projects participating in the 2013 Documentary and Narrative Independent Filmmaker Labs – see them before their festival premieres!
IFP’s unique year-long mentorship program supports first-time feature directors when they need it most: through the completion, marketing and distribution of their films. Focusing exclusively on low-budget features (<$1million), this highly immersive program provides filmmakers with the technical, creative, and strategic tools necessary to launch their films – and their careers.
Through the Labs, IFP works to ensure that talented emerging voices receive the support, resources, and industry exposure necessary to reach audiences. For more information on the Lab films and the upcoming 2014 program, visit: http://www.ifp.org/programs/labs
The Independent Filmmaker Labs are generously supported by the Time Warner Foundation.
