FIND?s 2005 Producers Lab
Postmark Submission Deadline: Monday, August 22, 2005

FIND is now accepting submissions for its 2005 Producers Lab. A maximum of ten producers will be chosen for this intensive seven-week program, designed to help filmmakers develop skills as creative producers.

In the Lab, participants get their projects in the best possible shape before seeking financing or going into production. Participants develop a strategy and formal action plan for bringing their projects to fruition ? including a budget, schedule and business plan. Lab participants also have one-on-one meetings with professional advisors ? established producers, directors, and other industry professionals. The filmmakers also receive a complimentary pass to FIND?s annual Producer Series, which runs concurrently.

The Film Independent ?FIND? (formerly IFP/Los Angeles) Filmmaker Labs are the incubators for the next generation of independent filmmakers. Committed to cultivating writers, directors, and producers with strong, original voices, the Labs provide filmmakers with the opportunity to develop their new work in a nurturing yet challenging creative environment.

Past Lab Instructors include Effie Brown (Real Women Have Curves), Eric d'Arbeloff (Lovely and Amazing), Alison Dickey (Piggie), Matthew Greenfield (The Good Girl), and Jasmine Kosovic (D.E.B.S.).
