FILM INDEPENDENT'S 2006 PRODUCERS LAB DEADLINE: AUGUST 14

Film Independent is now accepting submissions for its annual Producers
Lab that will take place in Los Angeles during October and November
2006. The deadline for submissions is August 14, 2006 (postmarked).

Sponsored by Technicolor, Film Independent's Producers Lab is an
intensive seven-week program designed to help filmmakers develop skills
as creative independent producers. Lab fellows develop a strategy and
formal action plan for bringing their projects to fruition -including a
budget, schedule, and business plan. Fellows have one-on-one meetings
with established producers, directors, and other industry professionals
who act as advisors to them on their specific projects.

A maximum of ten producers are accepted into the program each year.
Some projects that have gone through the Labs are the following: So
Yong Kim's Sundance-winning film, In Between Days; Jessica Sanders'
After Innocence, short listed for the Academy Awards' documentary
category; Andrea Millers' Dark Matter, currently in production with Val
Kilmer and Meryl Streep; Scott Prendergast's Kabluey, currently in
production with Lisa Kudrow; Dana Jackson's Park starring Billy
Baldwin; Mora Stephens and Joel Stephens' Conventioneers, winner of an
Independent Spirit Award; Ted Kroeber's American Gun recently released
by IFC Films.

Past instructors include Effie Brown (In the Cut), Eric D'arbeloff
(Lovely and Amazing), Alison Dickey (Piggie), Matthew Greenfield (The
Good Girl), Jasmine Kosovic (D.E.B.S.), and Shelby Stone (Lackawanna
Blues). Past guest speakers include Craig Emanuel, Debra Grieco,
