Posted by on Jan 27, 2010 in News | No Comments

Christina Beck and Annette Murphy (Perfection) get feedback on their cut from editors Kate Williams and Sabine Hoffmann, in the 2009 IFP Lab

The IFP Filmmaker Lab is accepting applications. This is an amazing opportunity for all you first-time feature filmmakers out there. Eleanor and I participated in the 2009 Lab last summer and it was an incredible experience – it made an enormous difference to how we’ve approached finishing our film Stranger Things. During the course of the lab, we got advice from some amazing mentors (indie producers Scott Macaulay, Gretchen McGowan, and Anish Savjani, editor Brian Kates, new media genius Lance Weiler, just to name a few…).

There’s one lab for narrative films and one for docs. Each section accepts 10 films. Applications are due February 12 (for documentary) & March 26 (for narrative), so hurry up and apply!
