You and I may not know them now, but plenty of the folks mentioned in the press release below will be among those that we cover in our Park City adventures in the years to come. Following in their natural progression from a workshopped screenplay to practising certain scenes behind the lenses, today the Sundance Institute announced the eight directors who'll be joining them during the June Directors lab and the six writer/filmmakers that'll hit the June Screenwriters Lab. Of the eight projects in the Directors Lab, seven were previously worked on in previous screenwriters labs -- they include: Sara Colangelo (pictured above) who was in Filmmaker Magazine's 25 New Faces 2010 edition, we have Romanian filmmaker Bodgan Mustata (who we previously featured) and Carlo Mirabella-Davis' genre film (not your typical Lab project) will also be included it now goes by the title of The Storm King instead of previous title On Evil.

The Sundance Institute announced their 2011 January Screenwriters Lab participants and among the talents who come packing the dozen projects we find one of the best dps in the indie film biz, and an American New Wave 25 personality in Jody Lee Lipes (see pic), we have Diane Bell, the filmmaker who brought her feature debut Obselidia to the festival last year and Ian Olds - the director behind the doc film Fixer: The Taking of Ajmal Naqshbandi. We have a Cannes resident and a couple of Filmmaker Magazine Top New Faces in the mix as well. Knowing all too well that these labs end up being integral part of the festival's annual output (especially in the Dramatic Comp categories) we love to keep tabs on the journey of these filmmkers as they go from Screenwriters to Directors lab and onwards towards production. One recent example is Sean Durkin's Martha Marcy May Marlene...

Last year, Liliana Greenfield-Sanders (my multi-talented daughter) produced and directed "Adelaide", an award winning short. Actually, "Adelaide" won ten awards, including both the Grand Jury Prize & Audience Award at Gen Art, Best Short film at Woodstock and New Orleans, Audience Awards & Special Jury Prizes at Austin, Indie Memphis, BeFilm, First Run and screened at over 50 more festivals. "Adelaide" also won a National Board of Review Student Grant Award. The film stars Anna Margaret Hollyman, Hank Harris (Pumpkin), and Damian Young (Californication, The Comeback). Her friend Gregori Viens, whom she met on the festival circuit, is the main attraction with "Punching the Clown," which Sarah Silverman calls "the best movie about comedy" and the Village Voice says "may be the funniest movie ever made about trying to hold on to one's artistic integrity in an image-obsessed world."
