2006 Latino Producers Academy
August 8 - 18, 2006 Tucson, AZ
Application Deadline - June 7

A documentary or narrative feature Producer is the person who causes a film to be made, and made well. NALIP believes that a Producer is the creative originator of films, a self-starter who recognizes ideas that have creative or commercial merit. Producers must have passion, a sensitivity for story and audience, plus the organizational ability and practical smarts to put together a project and guide it to and through the marketplace. The goal of NALIP Latino Producers Academy is to give our Fellows the practical skills and knowledge to accomplish their personal goals and artistic dreams as filmmakers.

The 2006 LPA includes hands-on practicum for Producers at all stages of their professional development. Documentaries in post-production will have opportunities to re-cut and score sequences with intensive mentoring on their rough cuts and completion plans. Feature projects with directors will work with crews and casts to rehearse, shoot, cut and score scenes from their upcoming production. Documentary and Feature projects in development will benefit from comprehensive skills development with an opportunity to return with a rough cut or director in a future year.

The LPA Invites Applications from Documentary Producers in two categories:
Documentary producer/directors in development or production who have proposals and sample tapes, invited with their producer/director partners
Documentary producers in post-production, who have rough cuts, invited with their editors

The LPA Invites Applications from Narrative Feature Producers in two categories:
Feature producers (including producer/directors or producer/writers) in development who have viable scripts ready for packaging and advancement towards production
Feature producers and their directors who have scripts in advanced stages of development with or ready to package (e.g. budget, executive summary, attachments)

SEEKING QUINCEANERA PRINCESS FOR EDUCATIONAL DVD!

Teacher's Discovery educational DVD will be presented to English speaking American students of all cultures and will introduce the "Tradition of the Quinceanera." Our cameras will follow the princess as she shops for her dress, tiara, bracelets and accessories, makes calls to invite friends, prepares for the event and finally, will showcase the fiesta itself.

SEEKING QUINCEANERA PRINCESS
Mexican. 15 years old. Must have an outgoing personality and enthusiasm for Mexican culture. Must speak English well and be Bilingual (completely fluent Spanish). No experience is necessary. We would like to cast, not just the princess, but also the entire family where it's members will participate whole-heartedly and agree to be part of the documentary.

SEEKING TWO TYPES OF QUINCEANERAS
a) An elaborate event where the parents and padrinos go all out to produce the most extravagant day for their princess at a fancy location that will showcase a classical tradition of the Quinceanera. (We have heard some parents make this day almost as elaborate as a wedding... this is the one type of celebration we are looking for).

b) A simpler Quinceanera where the parents and padrinos make this celebration a homegrown experience with the party at a family members' house and perhaps the community joins in the celebration.


The Quinceanera Princess will receive a copy of the DVD and other considerations.
