Up to 10 filmmaking teams, made up of a director and producer, could be part of the inaugural 502 Film Front Porch Film Lab cohort.

The new fellowship, which is open to teams living in Jefferson, Oldham, Spencer, Bullitt and Shelby counties, would provide up-and-coming filmmakers a chance to connect with mentors and guest speakers over the 10-day intensive.

“We have so many incredible creatives and incredible storytellers right here within this region. I wanted to create an incubator that would really help these filmmakers make it to the next level,” Soozie Eastman, president of 502 Film, said.

Appalshop, a film, media and community nonprofit in Whitesburg, will choose two teams from eastern Kentucky for the program. Interested teams from the region should apply with Appalshop directly.
