Sundance Institute Invites Applications From Emerging Independent Film Producers
An annual program of the Sundance Institute, the Sundance Creative Producing Fellowship is a year-long program designed to nurture emerging independent film producers with project-specific support through labs, grants, and long-term advisor relationships.
The fellowship program is designed for the holistic producer — that is, someone who identifies, options, develops, and pitches material; champions and challenges the writer/director creatively; raises financing; leads the casting/packaging process; hires and inspires crew; and navigates the sales, distribution, and marketing arenas. The program is designed to hone emerging producers’ creative instincts and further develop their communicating and problem-solving skills at all stages of realizing a project.
Five producers will be selected for the one-year fellowship (July 2, 2012, to June 29, 2013), which will include participation in a feature film creative producing lab and creative producing summit, as well as attendance at the Sundance Film Festival ( including screenings, curated meetings, and networking opportunities). Fellows also will receive a $5,000 living stipend, a $5,000 pre-production grant, year-round mentorship from two industry advisors, and year-round support from Sundance Institute staff.
To be eligible, candidates must have produced at least one short or feature-length narrative or documentary film (no more than two narrative features total); must have a completed, legally-optioned, scripted narrative project in hand with a director attached to the project; may not be the writer or director of the submitted project; and must live in the United States, though the project may be filmed internationally.

AFI FEST: Entertainment Studies sponsoring “Green”
Synopsis: Genevieve, played by Kate Lyn Sheil, is an intellectual New Yorker who moves to a cabin in the rural South with her boyfriend Sebastian so that he can blog about sustainable farming. She forms a fast friendship with a local woman, Robin (played by writer/director Sofia Takal). Their relationship initially boosts Genevieve’s confidence and self-esteem, but things grow complicated when Robin also bonds with her boyfriend. The women are gradually drawn into an irrational, destructive spiral of jealousy, insecurity and paranoia as they work to manipulate and destroy each other, creating a palpable sense of tension and discomfort as the story unfolds. Strong performances and a haunting score help to create an experience of the horror that lies within our own minds. In her first feature film, Takal creates a meditative and naturalistic portrait of one woman’s psychological unraveling.
Director: Sophia Takal
Cast: Kate Lyn Sheil, Sophia Takal, Lawrence Michael Levine
