Educational Hot Spot for Documentary Filmmakers
In 2010, I added two comprehensive seminars to our e-course line up, making New Doc Editing the leading online educational hot spot for documentary filmmakers! As a holiday gift to yourself–or a fellow filmmaker–consider giving the gift of illumination. I’m grateful to have gotten terrific feedback this year about all our educational seminars. See below.
Which of these courses is right for you (or a colleague), depending on the nature of your documentary and where you’re at in your film’s production timetable? Note that I offer a full money-back guarantee if you’re not happy for any reason:
THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO STRUCTURING YOUR DOCUMENTARY, $237.97
Hands down, this is the most comprehensive guide to structuring your documentary on the planet! It’s also the best deal I offer in terms of the amount of highly-specialized information you’ll receive. Suitable for any stage of production, this 12-week online seminar provides video tutorials, exercises and loads of case studies showing you specifically how to craft an engaging documentary film.
“I’ve just completed Week 2 of the “Ultimate Guide To Structuring Your Documentary” and must say it was the most focused and engaging learning experience I’ve encountered dealing specifically with documentary storytelling.
— Ted McMillan, Director

EDITING THE CHARACTER-DRIVEN DOCUMENTARY, $197.97
Does your film have interesting characters? Delivered in six weekly video modules (35-75 min each), “Editing the Character-Driven Documentary” gives you the online version of a live seminar that was filmed at the San Francisco Film Society over two days. This popular seminar has been offered live for 6 years and frequently sells out. I guarantee you’ll get the most comprehensive instruction on plotting a three-act structure for a documentary film that you can find anywhere in the world!
“I wish I had taken this class years ago; it would have helped refine my ideas, sharpen my thinking and given me the essential tools with which to develop my idea into a tight story.
