Introduce Yourself: Sign In Here First

this is great. Finally on UTNE. I am a doc film maker who does mostly
stories of rockers. I am working on the story of the late great Laura
Nyro. If anyone here has film, photos or stories of her please contact
me. Mostly what I am struggling with is funding (of course!) I would
benefit emmensely discussing funding. How? Grants drive me nuts. But,
have to do I guess.

welcom, nyrogrl. good luck with your film. you should read the
recent conference we did here on fundraising for docs:

Thanks for the hello Doug. Your links were very important to the film
I am trying to launch. Thanks so much.

You're quite welcome. The other archived conferences will be very
helpful, as well. Particularly Jan Rofekamp's on selling in the
international marketplace:

Hola! Just joined. The mission of my production company, Eyes of the
World Productions, is to use the power of media to raise awareness of
social issues. We're in LA. Right now, I'm making several
documentaries. Among
them are Her Meth Secret: The High Highs, the Low Lows (the powerful
way the methamphetimeine epidemic spreading across America impacts
women), Comparing Notes: Building an Arab & American Sisterhood
(women in both cultures share best practices to deal with their
challenges). Always looking for collaborators that want to have some
fun, make some money, and make positive change in the world. Contact
me for more info if you're interested!

welcome, emily. see you joined the community, as well, so i'll greet
you there, too ;-)

My company is called "FlyingPoodle Productions" kinda says it all and
nothing.

hi all

im a student in melbourne, australia. i'm on holidays at the moment,
waiting for the school year to start. got a dv camcorder for my
birthday just recently and thought i make a lil documentary on a local
workshop educating kids on the elements of hip hop music.

meanwhile, just doing some research on how to get things started and
happened to stumble across this forum... feel a lil 'ameaturish' tho,
but we all gotta start somewhere :)

Welcome to The D-Word Forum, J (?) and Christian!

jay, the classifieds is, in fact, the proper place for this. i
erased your post because you double posted there.

kyoko, i also erased your post because you posted the same thing in
the mentoring room (where it belongs) and i've answered you there.
please, folks, do NOT post the same thing in two different topics.

Hi, all. I've just gotten into video production as a facet of my job
working with a nonprofit. We're using video for internal communication
and are starting a project to produce educational videos for
commercial distribution. The experience has gotten me really excited
about the possibilities of documentary videomaking, and that's why I
ended up here. I live near Durham, NC, the home of the Full Frame
Documentary Festival - will any of you be attending?

not i, but welcome to the d-word, michael. have fun in production
and at the festival. it's a great one.

Michael, I may attend.

good to have you here, ross.

hey all, i'm new here as well. i'm working on two projects right now
and decided to try and connect with other doc filmmakers. my web sites
are: writinghome.com, and beingMEdia.com. if anyone is willing to
share, i'm really interested in seeing sample funding proposals. also,
i'm interested in meeting people in the chicago area who are working
on documentary projects...

welcome to the d-word, basil and good luck with your projects. judith
helfand's grant-winning proposal for "a healthy baby girl" is online.
hope it's helpful:
