We are pleased to offer an opportunity for select applicants to apply for our 2025 Producers' Lab with a 12% discounted rate. Apply by December 15 (11:59 PM PST). 

This special application form has a lower application fee. Please do not share this link. Other applications coming in via this portal will not be read. We need to take this approach as there are real costs involved in application reviews. Thank you.

Background

Stowe Story Labs is a nonprofit dedicated to helping top emerging screenwriters, filmmakers, and creative producers get work made and seen. We do this through programs designed to help artists develop skills and projects. 

We look for people demonstrating talent, a collaborative nature, a good story worth developing, and the ability to develop the project presented, whether or not they have experience in film or television. We may well reach out with questions as we go through the application process.

This application is for admission and consideration for fee-based and scholarship slots to our 2025 Producers' Lab which runs in Stowe, Vermont at the Brass Lantern Inn from June 7 - 10, 2025, in tandem with our 2025 Stowe Narrative Lab. 

This lab is designed to help emerging producers develop skills and knowledge to support their work as creative producers. It will be most helpful to producers who hope to produce their first or second micro-to-low budget ($100,000 - $1,750,000) feature film. You can learn more about our Producers' Lab here

Although we charge for our programming, we work to keep the cost of programming as low as possible, and offer a number of full and partial scholarships. Details about our scholarships can be found here.

Application Process

The questions on the application ask about you, the project you are submitting, and your intent in making the film. Please answer questions as fully as possible.

If applying for scholarships please include a statement of need where indicated.

There is not a separate application process for these opportunities. 

Fees

The fee to attend an in-person four-day Lab in 2025 is $2,650.00. 

Fees to the Lab include all content, lunch, and receptions. The fees do not cover travel or lodging.

We work with lodging partners to secure discounts to participants (and most include breakfast ...). We keep on the ground costs as low as possible during our programs.

Changes

We will notify all applicants of fee or schedule changes if/when they occur. 

Misc. 

We do not provide feedback on projects through our submission process.

Please familiarize yourself with our programs and fellowships before applying

You can of course reach out to us at info@stowestorylabs.org if you have questions.

The Producers' Lab is oriented to emerging talents whose prime focus -- even if multi-hyphenates -- is creative production.

Our mission includes breaking down barriers to entry in this complicated industry. 

Dates and Deadlines

Application season runs October 2 - December 15, 2024. Special Discounted Application fee is US $38.

Thank you for your interest in our Producers' Lab. Best of luck if you choose to apply. Please be assured we take the same care of your work and application in the review process as you have put into developing the work and making your application.
