“The Indigenous Screenwriting Features Lab supports four Indigenous screenwriters, two residing in Canada and two residing internationally. Over the course of the year, each participant will develop an original feature film script from concept/treatment to final draft. The program will culminate with the preparation and completion of a pitch package for each project.

Indigenous story editors will support the writers’ projects at each stage, providing feedback, advice, and writing resources. Screenwriters in the program will receive financial support throughout the Intensive, with stipends at the completion of key milestones.

It is expected that each participant will meet deadlines and participate in any group or one-on-one calls and remote sessions with Industry Leaders.

Part of this Intensive is sharing your work with the script editors, select iN staff, and the other participants for feedback. You will be expected to read and provide commentary on the other participants’ work.

The Indigenous Screenwriting Features Lab is a year- long lab that will run from January 2022-December 2022.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: MONDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2021.”
