Apply to the 2nd Annual Film Independent + CNN Original Series Docuseries Intensive! 

The deadline for applications is this Friday, August 13, 11:59 PM PT! 

The Film Independent + CNN Original Series Docuseries Intensive is a three-day remote workshop that will give filmmakers the tools and access needed to develop and present their nonfiction series to potential collaborators working in the series space. 

 

Through executive and peer mentorship, workshopping and fostering industry connections, Fellows will walk away with a deeper understanding of how the business works and with tangible next steps to move their projects forward. Each filmmaker or filmmaking team will receive a $3,500 stipend to utilize as they see fit for their docuseries project. 

The program is open to emerging or mid-career filmmakers/filmmaking teams (directors, producers, editors and showrunners) from communities typically underrepresented in the media industry, who have worked or would like to work in the docuseries space. Filmmakers who have worked in features (fiction or nonfiction) and are looking to transition to the episodic format are encouraged to apply. 

Applicants must submit with a docuseries project in development and be based in the United States. The Film Independent + CNN Original Series Docuseries Intensive is slated to take place from September 22 to 24, 2021.
