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.

This program is designed for a new feature film project, not revisions to an existing project.
