Life After
the Labs
Since being developed at the Screenwriters and Filmmakers Labs, several
projects recently supported by the Institute's Feature Film Program
have advanced into various stages of production.
Completed Projects
Andrucha Waddington’s House of Sand
(2004 Sundance/NHK Award winner, Brazil) recently premiered in Brazil.
Post-Production
Three American projects supported by the Feature Film Program are no
in post-production, including Shall Not Want,
directed by Laurie Collyer (2001 Screenwriters and Filmmakers Labs),
Harsh Times, directed by David Ayer (1997
Screenwriters Lab), and Down in the Valley,
directed by David Jacobson (2003 Screenwriters Lab).
Pre-Production
Two Lab-supported projects are scheduled to begin production in the
next several months. Rodrigo Moreno’s The Minder
(2005 Sundance/NHK Award winner, Argentina) begins production later
this month, and Dror Shaul’s Sweet Mud
(2003 Screenwriters and Filmmakers Labs) will begin production in the
late summer.
Post-Production Support
Many of these and other films would not be able to move forward without
the crucial and generous support of the production services companies
that agree to donate goods and services at steep discounts or, in many
cases, free of charge. We offer deepest thanks to the following companies
