Sundance Institute Selects Six Creative Teams and Projects for New Frontier Story Lab, October 23-28 Lab Specifically Supports Projects that Converge Film, Visual Art, Media, Live Performance, Music and Technology
Posted Oct 10, 2013
Los Angeles, CA Sundance Institute today announced the six projects selected for the New Frontier Story Lab, October 23-28 at the Sundance Resort in Utah. Inspired by New Frontier at the Sundance Film Festival and built on the renowned Sundance Institute Lab model, the Lab specifically supports artists innovating the art and form of storytelling at the convergence of film, visual art, media, live performance, music and technology.
Activities at the weeklong, immersive Lab include individualized story sessions, conversations about key artistic, design and technology issues, and case study presentations from experts in diverse related disciplines. The Lab draws talent and expertise from all of Sundance Institute's creative programs, including Feature Film, Documentary Film, and the Sundance Film Festival.
Robert Redford, President and Founder of Sundance Institute, said, As our New Frontier initiative continues to develop, we hope the Story Lab provides a unique opportunity for these artists to receive the support which will allow them to focus on the story driving their projects. The work that results will both define the space and advance it.
Michelle Satter, Founding Director of the Sundance Institute Feature Film Program, said, The New Frontier Lab offers a creative process that is immersive, collaborative and designed to be a catalyst for innovation and stories that resonate in meaningful ways. The fellows will engage with a wealth of experts in various disciplines who are leading the future of storytelling in design, gaming, live performance and immersive experiences.
Creative Advisors for the New Frontier Story Lab include Scott Snibbe (Artist Bjork's Biophila), D.V. DeVincentis (Screenwriter High Fidelity), Chris Holmes (Musician and DJ Beck, Paul McCartney), Sandi DuBowski (Director Trembling Before G-d), Wesley Strick (Screenwriter Cape Fear), Nick Fortugno (Co-Founder, Playmatics), Katherine Dieckmann (Screenwriter and Director, Motherhood), Lance Weiler (Artist Pandemic 1.0, Collapsus), Lynn Nottage (Playwright Ruined), Noland Walker (Director - A Day in the Life of Jeremiah Burke High School), Susan Bonds (CEO, 42 Entertainment), Lynette Wallworth (Artist CORAL Rekindling Venus), Stewart Wallace (Composer The Bonesetter's Daughter opera), Jeremy Mendes (National Film Board of Canada, Interactive Producer Bear 71) and Aaron Koblin (Leads the Data Arts Team at Google's Creative Lab).
