2025 Artist Development Showcase

You’re invited to join us for the presentation of the 2025 Artist Development Showcase, which includes a curated program of short films from Film Independent Artist Development and Project Involve Fellows who have been supported through various Film Independent Labs and Programs. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers.

For over 30 years, Film Independent Artist Development and Project Involve have been supporting talented creators who provide fresh voices and diverse perspectives to independent film and television by connecting filmmakers to the resources and networks they need to advance their projects and build sustainable careers. Film Independent Fellows, who have been selected to participate in Artist Development and Global Media Makers programs, are recognized around the world for their artistry and changing the cultural landscape through their work. Today, we are proud to have built a robust community of over 2,400 Film Independent Fellows, including Mollye Asher, Shane Boris, Elegance Bratton, Linda Yvette Chávez, Jon M. Chu, Jomo Fray, Siân Heder, Bing Liu, LaToya Morgan, Lulu Wang and Chloé Zhao.
