Stowe Story Labs helps emerging screenwriters, filmmakers, and creative producers get work made and seen. We do this through labs, workshops, mentoring, writers' retreats, and development programs. We look for good stories worth telling and people demonstrating a collaborative nature and the ability and capacity to do the work, regardless of previous experience.
Our application aims to learn about you, your work, and your vision for the project you are building. Thank you for considering our programs and for taking the time to apply.

Thank you for your interest in the 2024 Stowe Story Labs Connemara Writers' Retreat. Stowe Story Labs is a Vermont (U.S.) based nonprofit dedicated to helping top emerging filmmakers and screenwriters develop their craft and their work.
This application is open to screenwriters resident in Ireland or Irish writers abroad working with the Irish screen industries. The program will be held in Renvyle, Co. Galway, October 14-18, 2024.
The application asks about you and about your project, your residency, and asks for a writing sample from the material you intend to workshop at the Retreat.
The Retreat will have 20 participants. Ten screenwriters resident in Ireland or Irish writers will be selected. Other participants will join from around the world.
The screenwriters and filmmakers selected from Ireland through this process will not be charged a fee or room and board costs to attend the Retreat. Selected participants will also be responsible for getting themselves to and from the Retreat.
We do charge a small fee to review the application. We do not do this lightly. It takes time and resources to conduct meaningful reviews, and we keep the fee as low as possible to not discourage applicants. If paying this fee is a burden, please reach out to us at info@stowestorylabs.org.
Please take your time completing the application, and know we make the same effort in reviewing your submission as you do in building it.
We are honored to be working with our partners in Ireland -- including Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland, the Galway Film Fleadh, the Marketplace at the Galway Film Fair, and Renvyle House Hotel & Resort -- to offer this program, and wish you the best of luck in the review process.
This application will close at midnight Eastern Daylight Time on August 15.
Thank you,
Team Story Labs
