UnionDocs just opened the call for their Summer Documentary Intensive. If you’re an emerging filmmaker looking for a short-term but immersive program to develop your next project, look no further. Early no-fee deadline is March 2nd, 2015.

Description

The UnionDocs Summer Intensive is a 5-week program for a select group of emerging filmmakers from the US and abroad. Based in one of NYC’s most exciting neighborhoods, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the program explores contemporary approaches to documentary film, offers a stronger understanding of the best practices and business of production, and helps to develop the foundation of your independent project.

The program consists of screenings, seminar discussions, production instruction, professional development sessions, critique, mentorship, many guest artist master classes, and weekly visits to relevant sites around New York City. The Summer Intensive exposes participants to a diverse set of creative documentary practices from around the world, encouraging experimentation and discovery.

Previous work in documentary is not required, but a demonstrated commitment to independent creative work is necessary. For more information visit UnionDocs.org.
