Take the Next Step: DocFest 2007
The Paley Center for Media's annual DocFest returns from Oct. 24 to Nov. 2 in NYC. The venerable fest will boast an impressive lineup of premiere and classic docs from the genre's biggest names, bolstered by an introduction and question-and-answer session with all the filmmakers.
To supplement the screenings, the fest also hosts numerous workshops and special events, notably the Pitch Workshop. Now open for entries, the workshop will bring together TV execs and producers of nonfiction work to discuss creating, producing and pitching a doc. They will also evaluate the concept and presentation of five filmmakers' pitches. The winner of the pitch competition not only gets invaluable advice, but $5,000 toward completing the doc. To be one of the lucky five, submit detailed info on the concept and history of your work in progress, along with a 10-minute DVD of footage, by Sept. 15. For more info on DocFest, go here.
