Doc U Is in Session

Here's a cool thing to do for all you doc geeks in LA:  the International Documentary Association is presenting an evening with filmmaker activist, Robert Greenwald, the first in the 2009 series of Doc U seminars the organization has on offer.  Join Greenwald for this two-hour event at his Brave New Films offices and studio space in bustling Culver City and see a production house in action.  Greenwald will be sharing strategies on audience-building, fund raising and distributing documentary film work.

Greenwald has proven his merit as a producer, director and activist many times over by making films such as Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers (2006); Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price (2005); and Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism (2004).  IDA members have a jump start on buying tickets now; ticketing will open to the general public next Wednesday the 6th for the May 14 event.

The seminar series will meet the second Thursday of every month.  Keep checking back on the site for announcements of upcoming events with master filmmakers and other experts in the field.
