QUITE SIMPLY A
SUPERB THING
People’s first reaction is often disbelief: How can an accelerator like this be free? But we’re living in a time of extraordinary and often absurd disparity. And sometimes, from that disparity, something truly positive emerges.
In this case: the alignment of values between a philanthropist and specific filmmakers who are trying to create work of cultural value. That alignment is the engine of I SEE DOCO LAB — and it is, quite simply, a superb thing.
We’re looking for passionate Stories that aim for peace and challenge thinking.
Wherever you are on your film journey, we can help you.
