About the workshops:
Hot Docs presents full day professional development sessions on market intelligence and production for documentary filmmakers.
Session 1: From Treatment to Screen
How do you lift words on the page to the screen for a documentary? In this interactive session, participants will get practical takeaways on how to break down scenes from the treatment to manageable bite-sized ways to ensure coverage to the story during the shoot. Prepare for your next documentary with confidence.
