Testimonials
“I owe you the thanks. It was a very special, inspiring day. Thank you for thinking of me and inviting me to be a part of it. I’m very grateful to the IFP for helping me out when I was starting and proud to be part of its great history today…..Wishing you continued growth and success.”
- Jon Kilik, producer; Before Night Falls, The Hunger Games
“I loved meeting Lisa Cortes who had lots of great insights. … All in all, it’s been a packed and exhilarating day that’s given us a lot to think about. If every speaker (and every filmmaker I met today) has left me with a common message, it’s this: to keep trying to make your film, even if it’s hard (we all know it is) and there’s more rejection and uncertainty than anything else. You have to accept rejection and keep going.”
- Kate Barker Froyland, 2011 Fellow
“I was so impressed by the other filmmakers and the thought and care that you put into the mentor pairings. Shari [Springer-Bergman, EV mentor] is fantastic and has very generously offered to stay in touch and do whatever she can to help with Future Weather. Lauren Wolkstein, Shari’s other mentee, was also great and I have a feeling we’ll keep in touch, too. RBC seems like an incredible partner, and at the end of the evening, as I walked through the jewel-box of Lincoln Center–one of my most favorite places on the planet–I felt buoyed (and frankly a little awestruck) to be the recipient of such patronage in one of the world’s capital cities. Thank you for asking me to be a part. I’m so grateful.”

“Thank you SO much for creating, organizing, and facilitating what was probably one of the best days of my life yesterday! The energy amongst the group was so incredibly supportive and despite all my anxiety in the hours leading up to my pitch I feel truly honored and lucky to have been selected to present myself, my work, and my goals to the panel and to the group yesterday. I am still riding high this morning!”
- Mark Kendall, 2011 Fellow
“I can’t tell you enough what an honor and inspiration EV was for me. To see what so many accomplished filmmakers had to say about when they failed and when they didn’t was so helpful and motivating. To see them from the inside was such a gift. It was nice to have an intimate setting with the other participants as well. I know that many of them are people that I look up to and hope to grow with as we continue on our paths, what a great group of people. I use to work on the corporate end of the world and I think what RBC is doing is truly meaningful, they are investing in us and I know you guys really created a special program together, Thank you…I’m off to write a new draft in November, I am so inspired by the support of IFP, it makes all the difference. Thank you again.
