State of the Doc

Saturday, April 5th, 1:30pm
Duration: 89 min
Venue: Durham Arts Council

Industry leaders come together to discuss the current state of the documentary film business. With high-profile documentaries underperforming at the box office and market concerns growing, how do we measure the commercial viability of non-fiction filmmaking and where do we go from here?

Panelists include Nancy Abraham (Vice President, Original Programming, HBO Documentary Films), David Laub (Acquisitions Manager, THINKFilm), Tom Quinn (Head of Acquisitions, Magnolia Pictures), and Molly Thompson (Director of Programming, A&E IndieFilms), among others.
