Since 2003, the WGBH Lab has offered a virtual and physical space for innovation and experimentation in the world of user-generated content. The Lab is both a resource and a community for media-makers of all kinds, where users interact as they watch, create, and collaborate on video work.
The Lab is made up of 3 programs:
Lab Open Call:
Do you have a fresh idea for a short film? Pitch it and if we like it, we may pay you to produce it.
Lab Sandbox:
Watch and download free video clips selected from the WGBH Media Library. Cut, loop, and mash them, and let us know what you make!
Filmmakers in Residence:
Filmmakers and media producers with independent funding are invited to produce or post-produce a film during a six- to nine-month residency at WGBH.
