Some thoughts about Kids Kino Lab from Marie-Gabrielle Peaucelle, Philip LaZebnik’s assistant during Kids Kino Lab 2021 edition:

Being an assistant to Philip LaZebnik at Kids Kino Lab was an incredible experience. I got to work on very different projects and learned many tools from Philip to analyze and give feedback on a treatment and a script. Besides, the various masterclasses that were given throughout the year either by other mentors or external guests were very rich. Finally, meeting all the participants from different countries, sharing ideas and experiences, was very thrilling. I really recommend to apply as an assistant, you will learn a lot, meet a lot of professional experts, caring to share their work and experience.

Some thoughts about Kids Kino Lab from Emma Drost Jensen, Ronald Kruschak’s assistant during Kids Kino Lab 2021 edition:

Being an assistant as part of the Kids Kino Lab program has helped me to connect to a lot of new people working on new and innovative projects as well as helping me develop my own skills as a producer. Both through the tutorship of producer Ronald Kruschak but also through working on and help guiding such different projects as you find in the Kids Kino Lab. During the active Lab weeks it is hard, time-consuming but rewarding work. I can only recommend being part of the Lab especially if you want to expand your network and your personal skills.

We hope that this programme is just a beginning of the beautiful careers of Marie-Gabrielle as a script consultant and Emma Drost Jensen as a producer. Fingers crossed!
