SUNDANCE INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES 12 PROJECTS FOR 2004 JANUARY SCREENWRITERS LAB |
Los Angeles, CA - The Sundance Institute has selected 12 projects for the annual January Screenwriters Lab, which takes place January 9-14 at the Sundance Village in Utah. The Lab provides participating writers the opportunity to develop their screenplays in a community of accomplished screenwriters.
The Screenwriters Lab is a five-day writer's workshop that gives independent artists the opportunity to work intensively on their feature film scripts with the support of established screenwriters. Participating writers have problem-solving story sessions with creative advisors, engaging in individual dialogues that encourage and embrace the vision of the writer/filmmaker and help them get to the most compelling version of the story they want to tell.
This year’s participating writers have the opportunity to work under the guidance of the Lab’s Creative Advisors, an extraordinary group of screenwriters, including Artistic Director Scott Frank, Michael Almereyda, Anthony Drazan, Todd Graff, Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal, Lawrence Konner, Walter Mosley, Frank Pierson, Tom Rickman, John Ridley, Howard Rodman, Susan Shilliday, Zachary Sklar, Dana Stevens, Audrey Wells, and Doug Wright.
"The projects in this year’s lab reflect the diversity of American culture, and continues the Institute’s long-term goal of supporting both US and international projects," said Michelle Satter, Director, Sundance Institute Feature Film Program. "Three international projects representing writer/directors from Thailand, Tajikistan, and Pakistan are joining the nine North American projects at the Lab, providing a rich environment for cultural exchange. We’re thrilled to support all of these screenwriters, whose stories represent a compelling and unique mix of distinctive voices."
