Three Innovations and Screening Guide
Yesterday I spent a glorious morning hiking the hills above the IONS campus (Institute for Noetic Sciences) contemplating how to make my next documentary seminar the best ever.
But first…I want to give you this wonderful free guide, “How to Hold a Successful Documentary Screening”, at:

Born out of deep soul searching and a love for creativity, here are two reasons why “Structuring the Three Act Documentary” (beginning on August 19th) is the best seminar you can take to craft a compelling documentary. (I’ll share the final innovation in my next email.)
First, is your doc such a downer that many viewers will refuse to watch it?
Too many docs these days are depressing and…the tide is turning. The future of documentary filmmaking lies in solution-oriented films that address personal and social issue problems.
I’ll show you (in a constructive, practical way) how to create a solution-oriented documentary, so you can inspire your audience to think differently and take action.
Second, are you wondering how to structure a compelling beginning, middle and end for your film? Is so, this 5-week seminar is for you. I commit that you’ll get what you came for and more.
“Structuring the Three Act Documentary” combines the best of my stellar teaching pedigree (including 18 years at the #1 ranked documentary program in the world at UC Berkeley) with new thinking about how to structure insightful, exciting documentaries … and love doing it.
Because I am currently directing a documentary aimed at PBS, I will be sharing with you my latest creative thinking on solving some of my own film’s classic problems.
These include finding the right title, combining the story and essay elements in a seamless way, and finding time to work on the film amidst other commitments.
As I hope you can see, I am excited about making this new seminar such a fantastic experience for 12 passionate filmmakers that you’ll feel you got double your money’s worth!
