Multi-award winning executive producer Mitchell Block doesn’t just develop, produce, and market indie features and documentaries; he also really wants to help you make your projects.

Block has joined forces with the IDA once again to put on this exclusive 2-day Documentary Producing Workshop to help you and other aspiring documentary filmmakers do just that. Under the banner of IDA’s longstanding Doc U series, Block and Oscar-winning producer Jeffrey Tuchman are holding two full days of producing advice and information at The Writers Boot Camp and The Spitfire Grill.

The big focus of Day 1 will be funding. How does one even start getting funding for a documentary? Should a doc’s money come from the public or private sector? How does one find appropriate investors? Block will look at individual projects from workshop attendees and give specific advice on how (and if) one should approach financial support. Mitchell invites you to share your ideas or projects at any stage of production and have them evaluated as part of the class.

For Day 2, Mitchell is bringing Peabody and Emmy award-winning documentary producer, director and writer Jeffrey Tuchman on board to give your documentary idea a tune-up. Asking the big question of why your project isn’t attractive studios, networks, or sponsors, Tuchman and Block aim to make sure your package, proposal, idea, budget, team, and target are all on track.

If this sounds like something you just can’t miss—and if you’re in a rut with your project, you probably shouldn’t—register now for this workshop. Discounted rates are available for IDA Members and students.
