Supported by the experience of the award-winning Mexican producer Bertha Navarro, the Story Lab has designed an intensive program with a creative approach which seeks to work with the participating creators on fundamental issues in their projects, such as the focus on the story that is to be told, the development of the characters and the dramatic structure. The Morelia / Sundance Story Lab 2018 will receive eight feature-length development projects: six fiction projects in the screenplay writing stage and two documentary films in the editing stage. The participating creators will work collectively in group sessions of critique, screenings and conferences, as well as in one-on-one sessions with the tutors. This year, the Story Lab has been open to proposals from Latin America with the purpose of enriching the dialogue between creators from different backgrounds.
