DOC DAY - Wednesday, September 24
9:00 – 10:30 AM
Market Check: Commissioning Editors, Buyers and Funders (FTV01)
Since the glory days of theatrical feature documentaries
are declining, and free Internet downloading is on the rise,
how can documentary filmmakers secure their share of the market
in this multi-channel, multi-media and multiplex universe?
Thankfully, it is not all doom and gloom. Television still
provides the biggest audience for documentaries. Our panel
of seasoned buyers, funders and commissioning editors will
let you know what kinds of documentaries are continuing to
engage audiences. Sponsored by Knowledge Network.
