Stowe Story Labs, heading into its sixth year, is drawing the attention of some heavy hitters.
The Vermont Community Foundation and The Alchemist brewery have announced they’re supporting a yearlong fellowship for the sixth annual Stowe Story Labs.
The fellowship includes full tuition for the September 2018 Stowe Story Labs Narrative Lab, a year of ongoing mentoring with a Stowe Story Labs mentor, and other benefits, including a copy of Final Draft 10 screenwriting software.
The goal of the Vermonter Fellowship is to identify an exceptional Vermont applicant with a compelling story idea — regardless of prior experience or education in film and TV — and create an opportunity for that person to meaningfully advance their work and enter the dynamic international, independent film and TV industry.
“Vermont is rich in the art of storytelling, and we hope this fellowship offers the chance to develop the skills and knowledge to build a career telling the stories that connect people to that legacy,” said Dan Smith, president and CEO of the Vermont Community Foundation.
The sixth annual Stowe Story Labs Narrative Workshop will be held Sept. 8-11 at the Helen Day Art Center in Stowe. The Labs bring talented emerging screenwriters from around the world so they can work with top industry professionals to focus on story, production and packaging of their feature films and television projects.
“Introducing Vermonters to the international, independent film and TV industry is a critical part of our mission,” said David Rocchio, founder and president of Stowe Story Labs. “We are 100 percent aligned with the Vermont Community Foundation’s and The Alchemist’s mission to give Vermonters access to the tools they need to achieve their goals.”
Lincoln Hayes, the 2016 Stowe Story Labs Vermonter Fellow, said of being at the Labs, “To be around so many talented writers and creators was exhilarating! The mentors were insightful, inspiring, and wonderfully down-to-earth. I couldn’t believe I was in the same room with such industry rock stars.”
Applications for the Vermonter Fellowship are now being accepted. Vermonters applying to the Labs can use a discount coupon to get 15 percent off the application fee.
Participation in the Fall Narrative Lab is determined by a competitive application process. Slots are limited. In addition to paid participants, the Stowe Story Labs offer 12 funded fellowships to the fall Lab.
The nonprofit Stowe Story Labs runs labs, retreats, ongoing mentoring programs, film and TV market experiences, and other programming for top emerging screenwriters, filmmakers and creative producers from around the world. The mission is to help top emerging talents get good work made and seen, and through that to bend the world a bit through story.
