Community of filmmakers is priceless

A few nights ago I dragged myself out to a local documentarians meet up that a friend mentioned to me. It would be good for me, I said. And I am so glad I did! Within 15 mins of inner social uncomfort, I realized everyone here is working on inspiring doc projects. We broke the ice, and then got to watch multiple works-in-progress. Words cannot describe the comradery, alignment and inspiration that happens when like minded people from documentary field come together. We shared our suggestions, commented on each others works and brainstormed different solutions to the sticky parts. It does so good to one’s soul - and we all learned about each other’s way of working, tips and tricks, and how differently we approach interviews, drone footage, characters. This was truly a gift - to be in an active room full of filmmakers. And these meet ups are happening in every major town. Find yours, and connect with local filmmakers, whether you’re working on something or not. Trust me, it will enhance your filmmaking skills and make you feel grounded in a community.

Should we start meetups in this community??
