Sundance Institute Presents: ShortsLab

2011 ShortsLab LA, by Jonathan Leibson

Building on two years of success, Sundance Institute presents ShortsLab 2012, half- and day-long workshops for shorts filmmakers. Recognizing the important role shorts have and will continue to have in cinema, storytelling, and culture and after the success of the first ShortsLab, Sundance Institute’s 2012 ShortsLab will include three cities: New York, Seattle and Los Angeles.

Our goal is to empower the next wave of emerging artists by giving them first-hand insight into the basics of developing their idea, to making their film, to getting it seen by audiences. Focusing on narrative short-form storytelling, each event will be packed with panels, discussions, and screenings with a wide-ranging mix of filmmakers and industry professionals and will conclude with a reception to network with fellow shorts filmmakers.

Very limited space is available, so reserve your ticket today.
