Dear [Name],
As we continue celebrating the 45th Directors Lab, we are sharing voices from the community as reminders of the mentorship, confidence, and creative connections that take root in this extraordinary space.
Filmmaker Nia DaCosta reflected on her experience:
“How amazing an experience it was to do the labs. The amount of access, resources, context for entering the industry, and the amount of support they give — they really take care of you.”
But for Nia, the Directors Lab was not only about mentorship, it was about finding artistic collaboration and building a lasting community:
“I would say the Directors Lab is not the goal. It is part of your path. I think holding onto your peers and who you meet is so important. It is great to have mentors and a connection to get a job, but it's really the people that you come up with that are going to be the most important.”
These moments of connection matter and they’re made possible by people like you.
As we celebrate this milestone, your support can help make space for the next wave of artists to tell their stories. Please consider a gift of $45, $450, or $4,500, or any amount you are able to contribute, to ensure the next generation of filmmakers have access to this confidence building community. |
