Craft Summit: Producing Feature Docs: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

In this session, four producers will share their experiences and talk through developing, financing, producing and launching feature docs into the world.

Many filmmakers struggle unpaid for years making feature docs, while others sell them for millions, enjoy huge success, and win both awards and global attention. In this session, four producers (between them they have produced 12 feature docs in 24 months) will share their experiences and talk through developing, financing, producing and launching feature docs into the world – and the different impact of these factors when the doc is independently financed or commissioned.

Chair: Lizzie Gillet (Misfits Entertainment)

Speakers: Kat Mansoor (Snowstorm Productions), Julia Nottingham (Dorothy St Pictures), Su Kim (Grumpy Squared LLC)
