Sundance Institute is hosting a group in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for the latest installment of its Native Lab.

Four fellows selected include three U.S.-based participants Taylor Foreman-Niko (Samoan), Miles T. RedCorn (Osage/Caddo) and Sabrina Saleha (Navajo) with Canadian participant Ashley Qilavaq-Savard (Inuk/Inuit), the latter of whom was selected in partnership with the Indigenous Screen Office. Also joining this year are two artists-in-residence: Sayun Simung (Tayal) and Taylour Chang (Kanaka Maoli).

The lab, taking place April 6-11, is the signature program of the institute’s Indigenous program and it offers filmmakers “a nurturing, immersive environment to develop their projects and refine their artistic voice” under the guidance of creative advisors. Over five days, the group will refine scripts for feature and episodic projects through feedback sessions, readings and roundtable discussions.
