Accelerator Lab seeks documentary projects

Women filmmakers can apply for funding and mentorship.

Chicken & Egg Pictures is accepting applications for its Accelerator Lab. The program’s mission is to identify and support a diverse group of women nonfiction directors who are first- and second-time filmmakers to help them break into the documentary film world.

Selected filmmakers will receive intensive mentorship and a US$35,000 grant for the production of a feature film, to be developed, produced and launched over the course of a 12-month program.

Projects must be in development or up to mid-production, with no more than 40 percent of their footage shot by the date of application.

The deadline to apply is June 10.
