Docs in Progress

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Docs in Progress was founded in 2004 by Washington-area documentary filmmakers Adele Schmidt and Erica Ginsberg. The mission of Docs in Progress is to give independent documentary filmmakers the opportunity to get feedback on their works in progress from other filmmakers and those who love documentaries; to enlighten the public on documentary, and to build, support, and empower the mid-Atlantic documentary community.

We hold bi-monthly workshops in Washington DC where local and visiting documentary filmmakers can expose their works in progress to the public and get feedback in a safe and nurturing environment. We also organize peer pitching sessions, publish a free quarterly online newsletter with documentary film reviews and interviews with doc-makers, and provide private story consultations to documentary filmmakers.
