“Documentary producing is a fine art but an inexact science.”
The “to-do” list for a documentary producer is a long one. Every one of those tasks is critical and serves as the backbone of the production. Being prepared for what’s in front of your production team can frequently be the difference between creating a successful film and a failure to launch.
In this two-day workshop, Nina Gilden Seavey, an accomplished Emmy-winning veteran of the non-fiction world, will provide you with a “How To” guide to prepare your documentary film for the demands of a competitive marketplace.
Topics we’ll cover
- Budgeting
- Project Pitching
- Fundraising and Financing
- Production Management
- Permissions and clearances
- Intellectual Property and Fair Use
- Insurance and securing your production
- Distribution
This workshop will cover all the key elements to assure that your benchmarks for documentary production and post-production are clarified – from the moment you have a film idea to the moment you deliver your final work to a distributor.
