Showcase 2005: 2 New Workshops added to make 17

Workin’ on the Docs, a cross-section of documentary producers and a local broadcaster discuss the steps to take to bring your documentary to the small screen. Using a panel format, each participant will provide insight into their process for turning an idea into a finished product, some of the challenges along the way, and thoughts on how to meet such challenges. Documentary series and one-off productions will be discussed, and the audience will be given the opportunity to ask questions of the panel.

Trends in Digital Media, an educator, a local producer, a web designer and a union organizer will bring their unique perspectives on trends in digital media. The discussion will focus on two areas of interest - Distribution and Marketing.
