At the culmination of a whirlwind two weeks, the members of the fourth ever Cohort NYC Film Lab gathered at the studios of 100 Sutton St to screen and celebrate their original short films. The seeds of which were planted in the very same building, on a similar evening, only a fortnight before. Gathered together in long tables draped in thick black cloth, these excited creatives met their groups for the very first time, learned the theme of the lab, and received their genres. “Not so secret,” is the guiding idea behind all the films, implying a level of intrigue, dramatic irony, and subversion of expectations. The recent labs brought to light the following themes. You can find more about their film and credits in each link to the cohort.

It was exciting to record talking-head interviews about the films and the cohort experience, highlighting the exciting, mundane, and difficult parts about making a movie with a group of strangers. As the series post production wraps, keep an eye out for upcoming announcements. For interest in seeing the finished docu-series, stay up to date on Cohort’s instagram @thecohortnyc. UPCOMING EVENTS Calling upon all aspiring musicians, songwriters, and producers who are interested in collaborating for a two week music lab beginning Friday, June 5th from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM! This musical endeavour culminates in a live show at the Dead Letter No. 9, where devised songs will be performed for friends, family, and cohort peers. This program is open to a wide range of musical abilities, backgrounds, and experience, only requiring a passion for music and a willingness to work with new people. This coming June also marks Cohort’s fifth ever film lab in New York City. Sessions start on June 4th from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM and end with the usual screening two weeks later on June 18th. Both sessions take place at 100 Sutton Studios. Cohort is so excited to continue our mission of bringing artists together and giving them the time and space to flex their creativity. With each film lab the canon of films we have helped create only grows, along with our community. There are still open spo
