In today's world it is important for people to share their stories! Docs in Progress provides the training and resources needed for professionals and non-professionals alike to create documentaries telling their stories or the stories that need to be told to the greater public. I always enjoy attending their signature event - Community Stories - where their documentaries educate and inform attendees on a variety of topics.
Docs in Progress serves an invaluable role for burgeoning and established documentary filmmakers alike. Their workshops, networking events, financial support and professional opportunities serve a crucial role in the DC/Maryland area. And for filmmakers like myself, who travel to Silverdocs, their partnership with that festival only deepens that experience every year. Of special note is their enthusiasm - this can make all the difference in the world to a filmmaker. I support them heartily and hope others do too.
