Description
Join directors Farhaan Mumtaz and Roopa Gogineni, creators of Neza Bazi Stables, as they take you on a candid journey from idea to screen.
Discover how they build trust with film participants, navigate funding challenges, and collaborate with creative partners. In the second half of the session, we’ll break into small groups to workshop your own documentary ideas. By the end, you’ll have the opportunity to practise pitching your projects in a supportive environment.
Perfect for those who have always dreamed of making their own documentary, but didn’t know where to begin.
