Larry Laboe

NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA), one of the HFPA grantees, champions emerging and diverse filmmakers and storytellers from around the world and provides a forum where filmmakers can be recognized for their contributions, have open audience discussions about their work and connect with industry professionals for insight on distribution, production and representation. We caught up with Larry Laboe, Co-Founder and Executive Director of NewFilmmakers Los Angeles, whose industry credits include producer for Ctrl (2009) and Fact Checkers Unit.

Doing the Work is a series profiling key recipients of HFPA Philanthropy Wherever there is a film in Los Angeles, there is also NewFilmmakers LA (NFMLA) – a nonprofit that works on behalf of people who aspire to help one another succeed in the industry and who believe that they have something to contribute. Not only does NFMLA screen works that are overlooked by the major film festivals each month, but also it stands ready to collaborate with other organizations on their respective events.
