For 2009-2010, the Initiative will include the re-conceived Creative Producing Summit (formerly the Independent Producers Conference), the Creative Producing Lab supporting six Fellows from the Feature Film Program and, new for this year, four from the Documentary Film Program, as well as Sundance Industry Meetings to connect filmmakers with industry members at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. The Creative Producing Initiative is designed to support producers with project-specific support through Labs, grants, and long-term advisor relationships and to also reinvigorate dialogue within the independent producing community. Fellows from four of Sundance Institute's programs: Feature Film Program, Documentary Program, Sundance Film Festival, and Native American Program have been selected to participate in Creative Producing Initiative activities, bring a wide range of projects, experiences and backgrounds. "The vitality of independent producers is crucial to the quality and abundance of independent cinema, and we are committed to deepening the Institute's support with the expanded Creative Producing Initiative," said Anne Lai, Producer in Residence, Sundance Institute Feature Film Program. "We believe this expansion will not only support the next generation of independent producers, but renew the community of veteran producers committed to the vibrancy of independent film." The Creative Producing Summit, to be held July 24-26 at the Sundance Resort, is an invitation-only event for up to 40 producers and directors. Over the three-day gathering, the Summit provides a forum for top industry professionals, producers, and directors to focus on three primary avenues of dialogue: narrative producing, documentary producing, and the state of the independent film industry. Twenty panelists representing the best of the independent film industry will be on hand for one-on-one meetings, intimate round tables, and case study reviews. Former participants have reported that this gathering substantially increases their professional networks due to the quality of time with fellow participants and industry panelists who serve as Creative Advisors. Many producers have found creative partners and lifelong colleagues there. The fostering of community among participating producers ad the involvement of key figures in the independent film industry continue to be cornerstones of this newly-conceived Creative Producing Summit. For a list of panelists visit www.sundance.org. The Feature Film Creative Producing Lab, a five-day Lab for narrative feature film producers takes place at the Sundance Resort in Utah from July 20-24, 2009, just prior to the Summit. The Lab is designed to develop a producer's creative instincts in all stages of film production and to evolve his/her communication and problem-solving skills. The fellows will also attend the Creative Producing Summit, the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, receive ongoing creative and strategic support throughout the year from industry mentors and the Feature Film Program staff, and also grants for further development and pre-production. The Documentary Film Creative Producing Lab launches this year scheduled for two-and-one-half days over July 22-24.Invited producers are chosen from a pool of Sundance Documentary Fund grantees and will participate in one- on-one consultations, pitch trainings and presentations aimed at honing the craft or creative documentary producing. They will also attend the Creative Producing Summit and receive on-going creative and technical support throughout the year from Advisors and Documentary Film Program staff.

  • LAND HO! Written and Directed by Martha Stephens & Aaron Katz
    Mongrel Media Presents LAND HO! Written and Directed by Martha Stephens & Aaron Katz Official Selection Sundance Film Festival 2014 Tribeca Film Festival 2014 Los Angeles Film Festival 2014 (95 min., Iceland/USA, 2014) Language: English Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR 1028 Queen Street West Tel: 416-488-4436 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1H6 Fax: 416-488-8438 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com High res stills may be downloaded from http://www.mongrelmedia.com/press.html Directors’ Statement LAND HO! is about getting older. Colin and Mitch, both disappointed by their work and unsuccessful relationships, take to foreign parts in order to escape the isolation they feel. Once friends, they have drifted apart over the years. Each of them has lost the people closest to them and each is looking for some kind of connection. That sets the stage for turning loose two guys who sometimes can’t stand each other, but who desperately need each other. Like many of us, Colin and Mitch strive to find happiness in exploring new territories, connecting to the land, and briefly existing in another life. These men want to escape their circumstances, to feel alive and invigorated, but find that, no matter how far they are from home, the grass is always greener. It’s hard to fully appreciate the moment when one is right in the thick of it. This strange human contradiction is equally humorous and heartbreaking, much like Colin and Mitch’s story. When comedy arises from people genuinely interacting with each other and their environment, it does more than generate laughter.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Design Squad Nation Announces Winners of Build Big Contest Grand-Prize Winner Invents String Instrument that Plays Bach’s J’esu, Joy of Man’s Desiring Contest Challenged Kids to Think Big By Creating their Own Super-Sized Design Squad Activity BOSTON, MA (September 08, 2011) – Design Squad Nation, the series that works side by side with kids to help turn their dreams into reality, is pleased to announce the winners of its 2011 Build Big Contest. Paul Poulos, Kalin Ngo, and Robert Schill, students from Westlake High School in Westlake, Ohio, used rubber bands, plywood, and a lot of ingenuity to create a musical instrument that plays Bach’s J’esu, Joy of Man’s Desiring. Paul, Kalin, and Robert learned about the Build Big Contest through a Design Squad class offered at Westlake High by their teacher Scott Kutz. One of the only classes of its kind, it uses Design Squad activities and videos to give kids hands-on experiences with engineering. “The US is lagging behind other countries in science, math and engineering,” says Scott Kutz. “With Design Squad, I’m able to expose kids to an interest and passion they might not have had.” “With this class and Design Squad, I get to learn how to be creative and make things through real life problem solving,” says Robert. Kalin agrees. “I would never have known I could do this without Design Squad. I’m not usually someone who would even think about using tools, but this project changed that.” The Build Big Contest challenged teams of kids, led by a mentor adult, to super-size one of Design Squad’s 40 hands-on activities found online at PBSKIDSGO.org/designsquad.
