Sundance Institute to Present a Week of Creative Film Producing Initiatives, July 29 August 4, 2013 11 Projects Selected for Creative Producing Labs, Ongoing Support and Granting; 40 Industry Leaders Converge for Creative Producing Summit
Posted Jul 17, 2013
Los Angeles, CA Sundance Institute today announced the participants for its annual Creative Producing Labs and Creative Producing Summit, both held the week of July 29 at the Sundance Resort in Sundance, Utah. These activities are part of the Institute's year-round Creative Producing Initiative, which encompasses a series of Labs, Fellowships and other events that support independent producers.
Eleven projects will participate in the Labs (July 29 August 2), where they will work with an accomplished group of Creative Advisors to advance their creative, communication and problem-solving skills in all stages of a film's journey from script development to distribution. These Producing Fellows will also receive ongoing creative and strategic support throughout the year, as well as direct granting for further development and production. This year's Fellows represent eleven projects identified by the Institute's Feature Film Program and Documentary Film Program and Fund.
Immediately following the Labs, the Summit (August 2-4) takes place. The Summit is an invitation-only gathering that connects 42 producers and directors, including the Producing Fellows, with more than 40 top independent film industry leaders for three days of case study sessions, panels, roundtable discussions, one-on-one meetings and pitching sessions. Multimedia artist Doug Aitken, whose installation Sleepwalkers was featured in New Frontier at the Sundance Film Festival, will deliver a keynote opening address on storytelling and the creative process.
Keri Putnam, Executive Director of Sundance Institute, said, Independent producers play a crucial role in finding, championing and shaping original cinematic voices. We look forward to gathering with mentors and colleagues to support these talented Producing Fellows at our Lab and Summit.
