La Americana Selected for IFP Documentary Rough Cut Lab!
October 24, 2006
This just in from IFP:
“I am pleased to inform you that your project has been selected for the 2006 IFP Documentary Rough Cut Lab.
Scheduled to take place in New York from November 15 th – 17th, 2006. IFP Documentary Rough Cuts Lab will consist of three days of intensive seminars dealing with all aspects of finishing a film. The program is based on the assumption that your film is still considered a “work in progress” and, accordingly, will provide you with advisors and feedback intended to help you achieve the strongest possible version of your film.
While much of the content of the lab will be devoted to general information of use to documentary filmmakers completing a film and getting it out into the world, the sessions will be tailored as specifically as possible to your individual projects. As part of the program your cut will be confidentially shown to our advisors prior to the seminar so that their comments will be relevant to you. Additionally, you will receive feedback and mentor support both before and after the seminar as your film progresses towards completion.
We look forward to working with you!”
