Docs In Progress believes everyone has a story. By sharing documentaries, filmmakers call attention to significant historical moments and transform how people view the world. Docs In Progress fosters a supportive community of filmmakers and audiences, celebrating new voices that reflect sociocultural issues on the local, national, and global stage. Its filmmakers range in age and experience, from middle school students just learning to express their ideas to retirees with a lifetime of stories to share. Beginners’ classes teach the fundamentals while fellowships, residencies, and work-in-progress screenings help intermediate filmmakers develop their craft. An intergenerational filmmaking experience and a fellowship for filmmakers with disabilities further encourage and develop artists in a safe, collaborative environment, while an annual film festival presents films by local DMV filmmakers. All bring to light new stories that otherwise would not be told.
