Hulu Awards Three If/Then Documentary Lab Fellowships Highlighting Queer Stories (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comSelome Hailu Hulu and the If/Then Shorts program have set a cohort for the second class of their short documentary lab, which focuses on production and career training for nonfiction filmmakers elevating LGBTQ stories.
If/Then Shorts is an initiative from Field of Vision that amplifies regional, community-centered stories and supports nonfiction filmmakers through a combination of project grants, mentorship, industry consultations, editorial feedback, filmmaker advocacy and multiplatform distribution support.
Since 2017, the program has supported more than 90 short documentary projects. Three film teams have been awarded $30,000 in production funding as well as the opportunity for six months of individual mentorship through a production intensive led by If/Then and Hulu.
The teams will work towards premiering their shorts in September 2023 at an in-person screening event and reception at Outfest in Los Angeles.
