The Sundance Institute has announced the 12 fellows selected to participate in the second edition of the Sundance Institute Producers Intensive, for which Natalie Qasabian served as one of its advisors.
The Producers Intensive is a collaboration between the Sundance Documentary Film and Feature Film Programs that reflects a long-standing commitment to increase support for independent producers. The program provides creative, strategic, and professional development support for early career fiction and nonfiction producers from traditionally underrepresented communities who are poised to take the next step in their filmmaking career. The two-day program features group sessions and round table conversations on topics including the producer/director collaboration, pitching, legal and business affairs, packaging and financing, and budgeting.
Natalie Qasabian is the producer of films such as Searching, Duck Butter, All About Nina, and the upcoming, Missing. In 2018, Searching was acquired by Sony at the Sundance Film Festival and went on to gross $75 million at the box office. In 2021, she was the recipient of the Sundance Institute / Amazon Studios Producers Award for Narrative Filmmaking for her work on Run.
