- * One on one meetings with key industry professionals
- * Case studies
- * Sales, distribution and legal training
- * European, Canadian and U.S. networking opportunities
Recent IFP U.S. alumni producers include Ryan Zacharias (Matt Porterfield’s I Used to Be Darker – 2013 Sundance & Berlin), Alex Johnes (Eugene Jarecki’s The House I Live In – 2012 Sundance Grand Jury Prize Winner), Susan Lewis (George Tillman Jr’s The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete – 2013 Sundance), Nekisa Cooper (Focus Features, Pariah), Guneet Monga (Gangs of Wasseypur and Peddlers - 2013 Toronto) and Ron Simons (Blue Caprice– 2013 Sundance and the Tony Award winning revival of Porgy and Bess on Broadway).
