Free Critique of Footage
Deadlines for some major film grants are coming up soon (Tribeca, ITVS), so I am offering a free critique of an excerpt from your documentary to the first five filmmakers to get back to me. Here’s how it works:
First, email me a link to your cut (or fundraising trailer): karen@newdocediting.com
I will review up to five minutes of footage, so tell me which section you want me to critique.
Second, we will schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation to discuss what’s working and how you might improve your documentary.
To further help you prepare for fundraising and post-production, I invite you to join our next Inner Circle. This three-month story-consulting program begins Nov. 5, 2014 and you can learn more at:
When you join the Inner Circle, I will pay for your flight (up to $400) to our one-day Film Retreat in San Francisco. We will workshop your footage as a group. (That’s in addition to three one-on-one story consultations.) Here’s what a former Inner Circle member had to say about last year’s program:
“Karen’s expert notes on my project were just what I needed. She helped me see how I could shoot a character-driven documentary, which is truly where the power is in storytelling. I look forward to every meeting with Karen and the Inner Circle!”
— Jill Orschel, Filmmaker
