    Wondering if in addition to the Producers Network does IFP has any connection to the Cannes Producers Workshop?

    Hi Tess,

    The Producer’s Lab mentioned above is the Producers Workshop you’re referring to – we are a partner with Cannes for both the Producer’s Network and Workshop, and your application will qualify you to be considered for both initiatives.

    Thank you!
    John Sylva
