Docs in Progress – 20 June 2012

Docs in Progress allow selected film-makers to receive feedback on their rough-cut from professionals and observers, focusing on creative decision making and editing.

A great way to test your film on a real live audience and possibly even give you some fresh ideas to take back to the edit suite… Docs in Progress are open to all filmmakers based in the UK and abroad.
