7th Annual Native American Feature Film Writers Lab – Fellows Selected

July 11 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

The Native American Media Alliance has selected four fellows for the 7th Annual Native American Feature Film Writers Lab, a talent development program that boosts the careers of Native American writers in cinema. In collaboration with Comcast NBCUniversal, Cherokee Film, City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs and US Bank, the Native American Feature Film Writers Lab is an annual program for talented and aspiring screenwriters. Over the course of 10 weeks chosen fellows develop a new screenplay, meet with creative executives from numerous studio partners and receive feedback on their scripts from literary professionals.

“The Native American Feature Film Writers Lab is a vital incubator for Indigenous voices in cinema.” announced Ian Skorodin, Director of Strategy for the Native American Media Alliance. “It opens doors for talented screenwriters, providing them with the tools and support they need to share their stories with the world.”

The Native American Feature Film Writers Lab received numerous applicants from several tribes throughout North America. The chosen fellows take part in a ten-week curriculum overseen by a seasoned writing instructor with industry experience. The lab consists of daily workshops, seminars and mentoring to help each writer develop and complete a screenplay in ten weeks. The program concludes with each participant completing a new original screenplay and participating in the LA Skins Fest.
