The Screenwriters Lab supports writers, writer/directors, and writer/director teams developing their first or second fiction feature film. Through one-on-one story sessions with creative advisors, fellows engage in an artistically rigorous process that offers indispensable lessons in craft to facilitate the deep exploration needed to fully realize their material. The Screenwriters Lab is a five-day writers’ workshop that gives independent screenwriters the opportunity to work intensively on their feature film scripts with the support of established writers in an environment that focuses on the art and craft of screenwriting and creative risk taking. If you have applied for this year’s track, you will hear whether you have advanced to the second round of the application by August 30, 2021. We will still support Asian American and Latinx artists among a diverse cohort in our Development Track programs, and will continue to make it a priority to identify and amplify voices from all traditionally marginalized communities.Īpplications for the 2022 development track are now closed. Upon deeper examination of our programs through a racial equity lens, we have determined that offering specific fellowships for the same communities every year does not allow us to maximize impact on an equitable basis within the communities most marginalized, and where our annual reporting tells us we have the most room to improve. Please know that this does not indicate a reduced desire to support artists from these communities. For this reason, we’ve decided to discontinue our Asian American and Latinx Fellowships.
(There is no open application for the Directors Lab, which is typically populated by projects that have been supported through a previous development program.)įor our upcoming Development Track, we’ve made a commitment to continue and deepen our outreach and support across all underrepresented groups.

We are currently building a multi-year program in Latin America, Africa and MENA to support artists working across fiction and non-fiction filmmaking, as well as episodic and emerging media formats. To expand upon our legacy of Screenwriters Labs in Brazil, Cuba, Greece, India, Jordan, Mexico and Turkey, the Feature Film Program has created ongoing partnerships with international organizations, supporting a next generation of filmmakers and producers from the Global South. During these years, the FFP has supported numerous award-winning artists from over eighty countries through U.S.-based Labs for Screenwriters and Directors, customized, year-round creative and strategic support, and fellowship programs, Our Labs have been enriched by developing artists and projects that are deeply rooted in the personal and cultural history of filmmaking voices from all over the world. In 1990, the Feature Film Program made a commitment to support a vibrant exchange and dialogue across cultures by including the work of international filmmakers as part of its core program.
