We're delighted to announce the 12 fellows selected to participate in the second edition of the Sundance Institute Producers Intensive, taking place online October 26-27, 2022.
The Producers Intensive is a collaboration between the Sundance Documentary Film and Feature Film Programs that reflects a long-standing commitment to increase support for independent producers. The Intensive provides creative, strategic and professional development support for early career fiction and nonfiction producers from traditionally underrepresented communities who are poised to take the next step in their filmmaking career. The two-day program features group sessions and round table conversations on topics including the producer/director collaboration, pitching, legal & business affairs, packaging and financing, and budgeting. It will be supplemented by a Sundance Collab self-guided curriculum and a legal workshop in partnership with the Cardozo Law School's Filmmakers Legal Clinic.
This year's group of talented producers reflect an individual and collective commitment to bold, nuanced storytelling. We look forward to a dynamic program and are grateful to our generous and accomplished advisors, including Natalie Bullock Brown (Hazing), Jennifer Maytorena Taylor (For the Love of Rutland), Nico Opper (Try Harder!), Natalie Qasabian (Searching), Rishi Rajani (Hillman Grad Productions), Lizzie Shapiro (Shiva Baby), Jonathan Wang (Everything Everwhere All At Once), Mark Wright (Higher Ground Productions), and attorney Nicole Compas (Ramo Law PC).
The Intensive is part of the Sundance Institute Producers Program, which includes: a Lab supporting emerging independent producers through intimate group sessions and one-on-one meetings with veteran producer advisors, a Summit, an annual orientation for Sundance Film Festival Producers, and the Producers Awards, supported by Amazon Studios, at the Sundance Film Festival's Producers Celebration.
The Sundance Institute Producers Program is supported by an endowment from the Sandra and Malcolm Berman Charitable Foundation, with generous additional support from Amazon Studios, Cinereach, and SAGindie.
