Justpeace Film Lab hosted by unRival Network
Justice Film Festival and unRival Network are excited to announce the launch of the Justpeace Film Lab for presenting filmmakers and FIT students, on Friday, March 3, and Saturday, March 4, from 2-3 pm.
Story is at the core of who we are and how we understand ourselves. The people who raised us, the places we’ve been, our suffering, our success, our chosen communities—those people and experiences exist in an unfolding narrative for each of us. This lab gives us a chance to meet, to share our stories, and to move forward together on our journeys as storytellers who long to create a better world for all.
Friday. Session I featuring Suzanne Hillinger and Matt Waldeck.
We’ll have a panel conversation about growing your audience after a film festival and building your own story as a filmmaker to find success and sustainability in your career and mission.
Suzanne Hillinger is an Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker whose work has been featured on FX, Hulu, Discovery Channel, PBS, Viceland, CNN, and MSNBC. She is also the producer of Stranger at the Gate, screening Friday evening at JFF.
Matt Waldeck heads Zodiac Features, a world-class media entertainment company specializing in film/television/audio finance, development, and production. He is the director of Lovely Jackson, screening Saturday afternoon at JFF.
Monique Taylor is an Emmy Award-winning Television Executive and Producer with over 15 years of experience delivering top-rated programming for networks including Netflix, VH1, MTV, E! Entertainment, ABC, NBC, Bravo, NatGeo and TLC.
There are two sessions (Friday & Saturday) and we’d love to have you at each session, they are structured independently. Attending one is better than none!
