DOCUMENTARY PRODUCERS ALLIANCE: HOW RETHINKING CREDITS LED TO A GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT OF DOCUMENTARY PRODUCERS Conversations

In 2016, when a group of documentary film producers met for an informal dinner to discuss the challenges of producing independent documentaries, little did they know that just two years later they would become the leading force behind new crediting guidelines that have become a vital source in the documentary field. In this interactive, audience-participation session, key members of the Documentary Producers Alliance break down the new crediting guidelines and discuss how their desire to introduce guidelines for documentary credits led to a year-long organizing campaign with lessons for all filmmakers interested in successful field-building. Presented in Partnership with Sundance Institute and the National Endowment for the Arts.
