IFP announced today the ten films selected to participate in its third annual Narrative Rough Cut Lab, a national program connecting mentors and projects by first-time feature filmmakers before they are submitted to festivals. Taking place in New York City June 12 – 15, this year’s Lab includes a number of new initiatives, such as: the formation of an Advisory Board, expansion of the program from three to four days, and moving the program from September to June, thereby ensuring that participants will have time after working with their mentors to submit their strongest work possible prior to the submission deadlines of leading winter and spring festivals.

Selected for the Lab:
BOPPIN’ AT THE GLUE FACTORY (dir. Jeffrey Jay Orgill)
EL COYOTE (dirs. Sergio Palacios & Damian Rodriquez)
THE FIRST BREATH OF TENGAN REI (dirs. Junko Kajino & Ed M. Koziarski)
GENERAL IMPRESSION OF SIZE & SHAPE (dir. Alex Karpovsky)
THE MARCONI BROS. (dirs. Marco Ricci & Michael Canzoniero)
MOON EUROPA (dir. Chris Bower)
THE NEW YEAR PARADE (dir. Tom Quinn)
