Documentary Production 101
Basics Of Making A Documentary
(Audio Series)

---

If you've been keeping up with our blog, you'll know that Desktop Documentaries has partnered with award-winning documentary filmmakers and teachers Jilann Spitzmiller and Hank Rogerson (aka Documentors) who run a “how-to” documentary website called DocumentaryHowTo.com.

Their work has showcased at the Sundance Film Festival, won numerous awards and been broadcast worldwide on networks including the BBC, A&E, PBS, Discovery, Sundance Channel, Bravo, NBC and VH1.

We are fortunate to have a recording of a two-day seminar Jilann conducted called “Documentary Producing 101” which covers all the nuts and bolts of producing a documentary.

The two day seminar is condensed down into a 4-hour, 5-part series. I listened to the entire series and it is excellent. I felt as if I was getting my own personal consulting session! There is tons of detail covering everything you need to know about producing a documentary from developing your documentary idea to fundraising to distribution. Jilann is easy to listen to, extremely knowledgeable and gives lots of real world examples from their two award-winning documentaries, SHAKESPEARE BEHIND BARS and HOMELAND.

A seminar like this would normally cost hundreds of dollars, not including travel costs. It's like a mini-masters course in Documentary Filmmaking! You can either spend years learning the hard way or get a jump start and benefit from the hard-learned lessons of someone with 20-years experience.

The entire audio series can be purchased together (recommended), or each module can be purchased separately. The series is available at the DocumentaryHowTo.com website.
