Directors’ Lab: Each year, two early career Minnesota-based APIA directors are selected to direct and produce a scene from a short film script—one that they developed from the Short Film Lab or from a short film script they wrote—with a full crew, cast, and on location. Artists receive mentorship from teaching artists before, during, and after production, peer-to-peer engagement to provide feedback on projects and process, access to space, and critical response on their project from the selection committee. Selected directors also receive specific mentorship from their assigned teaching artist before and after in-person sessions, and critical response from their peers and mentors during the lab.
Supported by the Jerome Foundation
New Works! Lab: Six APIA filmmakers will have their short films fully produced. Writer-Directors receive funds and access to equipment to shoot their films that they developed during our 2022-2023 Short Film Lab.
This work is funded in part by mhc with money from the Arts and Cultural Heritage fund that was created with the vote of the people of minnesota on November 4, 2008.
Film Screenings: Our filmmakers will be screening their work throughout Minnesota in 2025.
