March 3, 2008 - Submissions are now being accepted for IFP’s Independent Film Labs. These four-day workshops are led by a seasoned group of independent producers who are the primary advisors for each project.

Participants also receive individual attention on their work in sessions with workshop leaders who give feedback and advice on specific technical, creative, and post-production issues – ranging from music clearance to creative editorial solutions to festival strategies.

The program is open to all first-time, narrative and documentary feature filmmakers who have completed the majority of principal photography. As a commitment to diversity, IFP seeks to ensure that at least 50% of participating projects have an inclusive range of races, genders, sexual orientations, ethnicities, and physical abilities in key creative positions.
