An opportunity to network, share successes and challenges in documentary filmmaking, and provide feedback to several filmmakers on their trailers.
The Documentary Roundtable is a joint program of Docs In Progress and Women and Film and Video. The meetings are FREE and you do NOT need to be a WIFV member, Docs Insider, or alum of Docs In Progress to participate. This is a great way to get to know others in the DC-area documentary filmmaking community, build your network and know-how, and find out about other offerings of these two organizations.
This meeting will be facilitated by Docs In Progress alums Simone Fary and Richard Hall. As an antidote to the documentary filmmaker working in isolation, it’s a brainstorming, networking, and support group all wrapped up in one. This is an opportunity to meet others in the documentary community and share your latest successes, challenges, and tips on documentary filmmaking.
