Sundance Institute names 2026 Producers Labs fellows, with feature training running July 13-18 in Wyoming

The Sundance Institute says its 2026 Producers Labs will be held at the Ucross Foundation in Clearmont, Wyoming, with a feature-film lab scheduled for July 13-18 and a documentary-focused lab set for July 20-25.

Sundance Institute on July 13 announced the fellowship recipients for its 2026 Producers Labs, a set of in-residence development programs for producers. The Institute said the labs will take place at the Ucross Foundation in Clearmont, Wyoming, starting in mid-July and running across two consecutive weeks.

For the feature-film Producers Lab, Sundance said the session is scheduled for July 13 through July 18. The program is designed to support feature producers as they develop specific projects through structured development activities during the in-person residency.

A documentary Producers Lab will follow, with Sundance stating the documentary producers’ session will run from July 20 through July 25 at the same Wyoming venue. The Institute’s announcement frames the two labs as parallel pathways for producers working in different formats, both delivered through the same in-residence setting.

The choice of Ucross Foundation as the host location places the Institute’s development programming in a community-based arts campus in Clearmont, rather than at a film industry convention site. Sundance did not describe any changes to the host organization’s role beyond the venue for the residency dates announced this week.

Sundance’s announcement did not, in the information provided, include additional operational details such as programming schedules, class size, or the specific projects associated with each fellow. The Institute’s release centers on the fellowship selections and the calendar and location for the labs.

With the residency window beginning July 13, Sundance said the feature and documentary lab sessions are now set to start immediately after one another, giving participants a near-continuous in-person development period while allowing the two cohorts to separate by format.

The Institute’s next steps, following the fellowship announcement, are expected to involve the in-person development programming during the stated week-long periods at Ucross Foundation for feature producers and again for documentary producers. Sundance did not indicate any post-lab public schedule in the material provided.

Why It Matters

  • The mid-July timing consolidates Sundance’s in-person producer development programming into a single Wyoming location across consecutive weeks.
  • The two-lab schedule creates separate development tracks for feature and documentary projects while keeping participants in the same host environment.
  • Ucross Foundation’s role as the in-residence venue underscores how Sundance is using non-industry event settings to support project development.
  • For producers and their teams, the dates determine when development activities will occur, affecting production planning and collaboration timelines.
