The Lab Master Class is an advanced workshop open to accomplished filmmakers (Graduates of The Lab or other similar program) who have distinguished themselves artistically and want to continue to learn and grow as artists.

Teens receive advanced technical training, write scripts and produce original fiction and documentary films. Similar to The Lab, each teen is matched with a professional filmmaker-mentor.

Applicants are expected to have a clear, compelling and thought-out film idea, which can be either documentary or narrative fiction. Student performance in The Lab is also considered, including the quality of your film, homework assignments, attendance and relationship with your mentor. Participation in Reel Impact is strongly advised. Most importantly, you need to be willing, once again, to engage in the complex and challenging work of creating an original short film and see it through to completion.


If you are accepted, you can continue with your current mentor (if he/she agrees) or be matched with a new professional filmmaker.

Space is limited. Applicants are strongly advised to meet with Reel Works staff before submitting your application. We are willing to review and advise you on your application prior to submission.
