:!: IFP/Los Angeles is now accepting submissions for its 2004 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 IFP/LA�s annual Producer Series, which runs concurrently. Past Lab Instructors include Eric d'Arbeloff (Lovely and Amazing), Matthew Greenfield (The Good Girl), Jasmine Kosovic (D.E.B.S.), and Effie Brown (Real Women Have Curves).
