Finding Your Story: How Ideas Become Great Films (Nov 13)

A great documentary starts with more than enthusiasm. Before committing years of your life to a project, how do you know if the idea can sustain a film, connect with audiences, and find support? Through practical conversations about story, audience, format, and feasibility, we’ll explore how filmmakers refine, reshape, and sometimes rethink their ideas.  Examine not just what makes an idea exciting, but what gives it the depth, shape, and staying power to become a strong documentary.

PRO DAY PASS: WHAT’S INCLUDED

Each PRO Day Pass grants access to a single DOC NYC PRO conference day comprised of several panel discussions and all day access to the Festival Lounge where you can enjoy complimentary breakfast and happy hour.
