on Wednesday unveiled this year’s Stowe Launch fellows. This is the second year of the pilot program, which serves as Stowe Story Labs’ advanced development program for top emerging screenwriters and filmmakers.
This year’s fellows, Ahmed Qaid and Elizabeth Dwyer, will each receive guidance along with an $8,500 curated development fund to support the advancement of the work.Qaid is a Yemeni American writer and photographer whose work is dedicated to exploring the complexities of Arab and Muslim individuals within contemporary America.
“I want to congratulate Ahmed and Elizabeth for being selected into Launch and for their beautiful stories,” said David Rocchio, the founder and director of Stowe Story Labs. “We selected Ahmed and Elizabeth because the team felt we could help advance these works and we loved the stories and the artists intent. The U.S. does not have publicly funded development support for independent film, and I am proud Stowe Story Labs is helping to pick up that work for deserving artists and projects.
