Disclosure Statement
Desktop Documentaries is an informational website to help people interested in making documentaries, filmmaking and related topics. We want to inspire and provide information and tools you need to make your filmmaking dreams a reality!
All content on this website is provided free of charge as a service to visitors to this site. When appropriate or related, other websites, products and services are listed or recommended on this site. If you click on certain links and purchase items, Desktop Documentaries may, though not always, receive a referral commission.
From time to time, some articles or listings on this site may include sponsored links or collaborations, meaning we’ve received compensation to feature or highlight a product, service, or company. These partnerships help support the free resources we provide, and we only accept sponsorships for products or services we believe will be of genuine interest or value to our readers.
You do not pay more for goods bought through this site.
The price you pay is the same whether you buy through our
affiliate links or directly from the merchants.
You can certainly go to the sites directly and purchase their products (for example, Amazon is one of the affiliates we use). However, if you feel that you have received some value from Desktop-Documentaries.com, we appreciate you clicking to the products from our pages.
Our Own Products
We have created a series of documentary filmmaking products to help filmmakers with their projects. As stipulated by law, we can not and do not make any guarantees about your ability to get results with our ideas, information, tools or strategies. We don't know you and your results in life are up to you. We just want to help by giving great content, direction and strategies that move you forward, faster.
Nothing on this website is a promise or guarantee of what you are able to accomplish. Any financial numbers referenced in connection with our products are simply estimates or projections, and should not be considered exact, actual or as a promise of specific results - all numbers are illustrative only.
Product Endorsements
Our team here at Desktop Documentaries only recommends products and services that we think will be of value to you.
We have not necessarily used or tested each product or service that we post on this site, although we use our best judgement to determine which products and services will be of most help to you in your filmmaking journey. It is ultimately up to you to research and determine if a particular product or service is appropriate for you to buy.
We are never paid to give positive reviews or opinions. However, we may earn a commission if you purchase through affiliate links, or receive a fee for certain sponsored placements. In all cases, we maintain full editorial control over what appears on the site.
Product Claims
The views and opinions expressed on Desktop-Documentaries.com are our own. Any product, claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider, or party in question. Any product, claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service featured on this site has been received from the manufacturer or the provider of the product or service, unless clearly stated.
We will only recommend a product or service that we feel is a valuable resource for visitors to Desktop-Documentaries.com. Any questions, claims, or descriptions of a product or service should be independently verified with that company or provider.
Third Party Advertisements
Compensation may also be received from third party advertisements such as Google Ads, Infolinks, and other advertisers. Google ads and other advertisers are clearly identified as such on each page where they're displayed. "Ads by Google" are not selected by us, although we try our best to keep them relevant to your needs and interests. If you see a Google ad and a Web page about the same product or service, it is a coincidence.
Affiliate Merchants
We also have several affiliate merchants whose products are featured on this site including Amazon, B&H Photo Video and others.
If you click on a product link or text link and buy something from one of these merchants, Desktop-Documentaries.com receives a small commission in return.
In addition to affiliate commissions, we may occasionally receive direct sponsorship or other compensation for featuring certain products or services. This helps support the site and its free resources. When a page includes sponsored content or links, this is noted in a disclosure statement near the top of the page and identified in accordance with Google’s and the FTC’s guidelines.
Our goal is to keep our recommendations transparent and genuinely useful. Whether a link is sponsored, affiliate, or purely editorial, our aim remains the same - to help you make informed, confident choices as a filmmaker.
