In-the-Works with SilverDocs & Idea Workshop Call for Entries

Submission Deadline for the Dec 5th In-the-Works is Nov 17th and for the Dec 12th Idea Workshop is Nov 28

We are currently accepting submissions for the next In-the-Works event on December 5th which will be co-sponsored with the AFI/Discovery Channel SilverDocs Film Festival. DocuClub’s In-the-Works program offers filmmakers a safe environment to screen a rough-cut of their documentaries before an audience of their peers and lovers of the form. The audience is encouraged to give constructive feedback about the structure, content, characters and clarity of the film in a post-screening discussion facilitated by an experienced filmmaker. A cheese and wine reception will follow to give everyone a chance to network.

Previous films that have recently screened at our In-the-Works program through DocuClub include Academy Award-winner Born into Brothels by Zana Briski & Ross Kauffman and The Boys of Baraka directed by Heidi Ewing & Rachel Grady which won the Audience Award at the SilverDocs: AFI/Discovery Channel Documentary Festival.

DocuClub’s Idea Workshop is an intimate pitching session where accepted filmmakers pitch their ideas to industry representatives who, in turn, provide feedback on the strength of the pitch (and often trailer) and the potential markets for the film's subject matter. Filmmakers can practice their pitch, industry reps get a feel for what projects are at early stages of production, and the audience gets a sense of how this all-important facet of documentary funding and production happens as well. This program always sells out and has recently included industry representatives from PBS, P.O.V., Sundance Channel, BRAVO, Magnolia Pictures, and Emerging Pictures. A wine and cheese networking reception follows.

Submission requirements for In-the-Works can be found on our website: docuclub.org
