The Sundance Creative Producing Lab just wrapped, and here, with an account of her days there, is producer Melissa Lee (Dear Lemon Lima, Circumstance).
Last week I had the honor of being one of six Fellows at the Sundance Institute Creative Producing Lab. Over the course of five days, the intimate group of Fellows and Advisors – about 15 in all — dissected, scrutinized, and re-energized not only the five projects selected for the Lab, but also each of the Fellows behind them. I’d heard the experience compared to rehab, group therapy, and King Arthur’s Court. It turned out to be a bit of all three.
I almost didn’t apply to the Lab this year. After two consecutive rejections, I wasn’t sure my bruised pride was up for a third. ut the same pride also told me that was a pathetic excuse. Now, I’m really glad I listened.
