As our upcoming Doc U: Focus on Funding approaches, we want to introduce our esteemed funders to the IDA audience. We're pleased to have Rahdi Taylor of the Sundance Documentary Fund on board with us!

As Associate Director of the Sundance Documentary Film Program, Rahdi Taylor finds, cultivates and finances documentary films worldwide for the Sundance Documentary Fund, totaling up to $1.5million dollars annually. Prior to Sundance, Taylor was Director of Marketing and Communications for California Newsreel, where she headed distribution campaigns for new releases and was responsible for strategic marketing and branding initiatives. She has served as Director of Production Assistance (Development) at Women Make Movies, where she supported 20 documentaries annually moving from script to screen and administered a Fiscal Sponsorship Program. An award-winning filmmaker herself, she holds a Master of Fine Art and was Adjunct Faculty at New College of California.
