Everybody likes to be a winner, and documentary filmmakers are no exception.
Winning (or even being nominated for) any of the many prestigious awards given out each year for documentary excellence can raise the profile of your film, and may even boost your career. But the trophies don’t come easy. It takes a lot of planning, time, and effort to even get in the running. And their actual impact – both in terms of box office and career – is hard to judge. So is the chase really worth it?
In the home stretch of this year’s awards season, IDA brings together a group of doc insiders with a variety of perspectives on the process to ask and answer this question and many more. What are the chances you’ll win? What does it take and how much does it cost? And what does an award really mean for the future of your film and your career?
