This morning, the Independent Filmmaker Project (Ifp) announced the 10 films selected to participate in its 2012 Ifp Documentary Lab, which takes place all this week in New York City. The slate for this eighth edition of the doc labs is very geographically diverse, with participants hailing from Washington, Kentucky and Berlin in addition to the usual indie strongholds of Los Angeles and New York City.
Each year, 20 indie films with budgets under $1 million — 10 documentary and 10 narrative — are selected for participation in the Ifp post-production labs, which gives filmmakers strategic help and guidance regarding the completion, marketing and distribution of their projects.
Commenting on the importance of the labs program, Ifp’s Executive Director Joana Vicente said, “The Labs are unique in our focus on guiding filmmakers to concretely and constructively plan for their films’ lives beyond post-production, and are tailored to maximizing their opportunities given the particular assets of each film.
