Great Feedback from Doc U on the Road!

By IDA Editorial Staff


We got some great feedback from our Doc U on the Road stops in New York and Washington, DC.

We wanted to share some of your comments with our big IDA community. If you’ve never been to a Doc U in your area before, we sure hope you can make it to the next one!

“Tremendous impact. These seminars are invaluable. Typically only available at specialized conferences that are expensive.”

“I was appreciative that we could attend such an event in DC rather than just reading about them in LA or NYC. It's important to reach beyond the LA area. It helps expand the community of members and potential members and anyone interested in documentaries.”

“The range and professionalism of the speakers was excellent. The topic was germane across the documentary filmmaking board…Very impressive.”


“...an engaging and inspiring event. I came away from it with a lot of concrete tips and ideas for developing a strategic outreach plan and building collaborative partnerships with organizations that can help increase the reach and impact of my documentary.”


“It's all about relationships and this Doc U event made it easy for me to build relationships.”

“The event provided the perfect context by which to connect with like-minded filmmakers. It was inspiring to see, hear and engage with filmmakers who have blazed trails. A perfect evening!”

“Thank you... Thank you...Thank you. I hope you do more in DC!”


Doc U is the International Documentary Association's series of educational seminars and workshops for aspiring and experienced documentary filmmakers.
