The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has provided the IDA
with a generous grant in support of Doc U - a series of hands-on
educational seminars and workshops for aspiring and experienced
documentary filmmakers.
"We are very appreciative for The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences' ongoing dedication to documentary filmmakers," explains
Michael Lumpkin, IDA's Executive Director. "This funding will allow the
IDA to take Doc U on tour once again. There is such a high demand for
Doc U, so we are really excited that The Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences has decided to fund the program again."
Last year, IDA took Doc U on the road to three cities - New
York City, Washington D.C. and Boston. The tour, featuring filmmaker
Julia Bacha, was also supported by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences.
The next Doc U tour will be implemented this year, in fall or early
winter.
Next Doc U set for Monday, June 13 at The Cinefamily in Los Angeles: DOC U: FINE CUT - Exploring the Director/Editor Collaboration. For ticket info, visit the Doc U event page.
