Doors Open: 7:00pm

A lot of people hear "documentary writer" and think "narration". But even though any professional doc writer has to be ready to write narration on demand, there's a lot more to the job than churning out VO.

Throughout the life of a production, the documentary writer brings a concept to life on the page so it can make it up onto the screen. The writer’s treatment guides the choice of characters, scenarios, locations and themes during preproduction and production, and the script maps the way to a coherent storyline through jungles of raw footage in post.

Join moderator Sara Hutchison (writer/producer and IDA Board Executive Member) and a panel of experts, including writer/producer and IDA Board Member Steven Reich (Avalanche: The White Death, Bird Island: The Story of Isla Rasa), writer/producer Sharon Wood (Straight from the Heart, The Celluloid Closet), writer/producer P.G. Morgan (Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired, Revenge of the Electric Car) and writer/director/producer Freida Lee Mock (Wrestling with Angels: Playwright Tony Kushner, Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision) as we look at the role of writing in nonfiction storytelling.

The evening's on-stage conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A, and a reception on the Cinefamily's backyard Spanish patio!
