Applications are being accepted to participate in a one-week Native American Unscripted Workshop. Native American Filmmakers should apply by August 28, 2023. The Workshop takes place in late October, 2023.
About the Program
The Native American Unscripted Workshop is a week-long program that includes daily creative discussions with experienced producers, creative executives and veteran filmmakers. As a result of these meetings, participants can expect to build professional development, explore career opportunities, and develop a project for pitching. In addition to the meetings, the Workshop concludes with participants making pitches before a panel of creative executives.
Then, each participant receives feedback and guidance on their current unscripted or documentary project. In addition, each participant will have the opportunity to discuss creative development, enhance their respective materials and improve their project sample. Overall, the goal of the pitch panel is to provide Native American filmmakers with additional opportunities and exposure.
Who Should Apply? Native American Filmmakers
The Workshop is for emerging and seasoned indigenous filmmakers, journalists and producers interested in advancing their careers in the unscripted, non-fiction and documentary field. Also, the Workshop is for Native filmmakers who have an unscripted or documentary film (short or feature), documentary or unscripted series script, documentary or unscripted treatment or a bible for an unscripted television series.
