Film Independent Sets Filmmakers For 2023 Documentary Lab
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Film Independent on Wednesday named the filmmakers and projects selected for its 12th annual Documentary Lab, rolling out a list that includes Alina Simone & Kirstine Barfod (Black Snow), Chris Coats (Flamingo Camp), Sisa Bueno (For Venida, For Kalief), Gabriela Díaz Arp (Matininó), Amanda Erickson (She Cried That Day) and Adina Luo (You Have the Floor).
The nonprofit behind the Independent Spirit Awards also announced Black Snow‘s Simone as the recipient of its latest Cayton-Goldrich Family Foundation Fellowship, an unrestricted $10,000 cash grant awarded to a Jewish filmmaker participating in one of its Artist Development Programs.
An intensive program providing creative feedback to filmmakers who are currently in post-production on feature-length docs, The Lab also advances their careers by introducing them to mentors, advisors and guest speakers who can advise on both the craft and business of documentary filmmaking.
Chris Shellen (Mickey: The Story of a Mouse) and Ivete Lucas (Naked Gardens) will serve as Lead Creative Mentors this time around, with Bo Mehrad (Call Me Miss Cleo) and Amy Foote (All the Beauty and the Bloodshed) as Editing Mentors.
