Project Involve

For 30 years and counting, Project Involve has been Film Independent’s most vital and impactful program. This robust program provides invaluable hands-on filmmaking experience from project inception to completion.

Fellows include Andrew Ahn (The Wedding Banquet); Linda Yvette Chavez (Flamin’ Hot); Jon M. Chu (Wicked); Jomo Fray (Nickel Boys); Marvin Lemus (Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Roadtrip); LaToya Morgan (Duster); Jennifer Phang (Descendents: The Rise of the Red); Justin Simien (Haunted Mansion); Lulu Wang (Expats); Harry Yoon (Thunderbolts) and Kim Yutani (Director of Programming, Sundance).
