"UFO received a record 287 applications for three available fellowship slots, showcasing the high level of interest and talent among early-career filmmakers."
"Since the Lab's launch in 2023, films created through it have gone on to screen at Sundance, SXSW, True/False, Palm Springs ShortFest, and DOC NYC."
"UFO Fellow Arielle Knight's 'The Boys and the Bees' received the Short Jury Award for Non-Fiction at this year's Sundance, qualifying the film for consideration for the 2027 Oscars."
The UFO Short Film Lab announces its latest fellows for Cycle IV, awarding $20,000 to each of the three selected filmmakers. Hana Elias, Katherine Clary, and Edward Nguyen will develop original shorts, with Clary focusing on a scripted project and the others on non-fiction works. The program includes resources like ZEISS lens rentals and mentorship. Previous films from the Lab have screened at major festivals, and one fellow's work has qualified for Oscar consideration.
