This past March, we announced the launch of the Nonfiction Core Application 3.0, an update to the application template created to ease the application burden on filmmakers while reflecting evolving artistic and ethical practices. In our launch post, co-authored with Keisha Knight, we described the Nonfiction Core Application 3.0 not only as a shared resource, but also as a living document that should evolve with the field. Today, we are continuing that evolution.
The Nonfiction Core Application
The revision process for Core Application 3.0 was informed by feedback gathered from filmmakers and industry professionals. Building on the success of Core Application 2.0, which was generally well-received as a tool for simplifying the application process, we identified areas for improvement.
