Participants learn the key ingredients in crafting the narrative arc in documentary filmmaking while developing a standard industry proposal for funding. Since its inception, the Filmmakers Collaborative has mentored over seventy community producers, and as a result, is recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Participants will take master classes with Albert Maysles and other filmmakers to be announced.
