Production Incubator

The Production Incubator is our program that serves artists working in film and new media by creating opportunities for collaboration and experimentation within project development and production.

Since we launched the Production Incubator in 2017, we've supported over 26 artists across 3 podcasts, 6 short films, 3 film anthologies, and 1 documentary incubator cohort.

The Production Incubator is led by Staff Artist Samantha Curley.
