September 28 - 30, 2013
Documentary pros explore some of the most intriguing work being done today – the synthesis of cutting edge, multiplatform storytelling with riveting documentary film.

Moderated by Orlando Bagwell (MLK; Hymn: Remember Alvin Ailey; JustFilms), this panel will explore some of the most intriguing work being done in the field today – nonfiction pieces that tell their story in film, television, online, and in living color – and discuss the profound effects of synthesizing the cutting edge storytelling techniques with riveting documentary material.
