Testimonials
“IFP was one of the first organizations to believe in Pariah, and us as filmmakers. Throughout the four years since we first began working together, IFP has been a constant champion, opening doors and giving council as we labored to get this film made… The Labs were incredibly helpful because it connected us with creative mentors and helped us to make the best film possible and plan for the marketing and distribution of our first feature film. The year of mentorship, case studies, workshops, and strategy that we studied proved invaluable.” – Dee Rees, writer/director, Pariah (Sundance 2011; Focus Features)
“The Labs served as a great team-building moment, where we managed to get together in the same room for a solid period of time… We got to think through our common goals and our own specific roles, the long road ahead, and that little light at the end of the tunnel… It’s hard to quantify the specificity and pragmatism of the workshops at this point… All I can say for sure is that, come festival application and picture-lock time, we’ll all say “bless the IFP Lab” more times a day than anyone around us will be able to bear… IFP’s support opened up a whole world for us and made it possible for the project to become stronger and ready for the wider world.” – Mona Nicoara, director, Our School (Tribeca 2011)
“Through the Narrative Lab, IFP was investing its brains and heart in my film. I was no longer alone. I had found community and guidance all at once.” –Tim Sutton, director, Pavilion
