Having wonderful ideas for documentaries is just the first step. Ideas need to be put into a winning proposal format. The proposal formation is key to moving closer to turning project dreams into reality
This workshop will guide the attendees through the stages of preparing a documentary film proposal and will help everyone become familiar with the preparation process. This acquired knowledge in return will help people to develop their own style of writing a documentary film proposal which is not a script but a sales medium, as unique as each individual with an idea.
This is a hands-on workshop where the class collectively will produce a documentary film proposal.
