CRAFT & COLLABORATION IS BACK!


Join us for this second edition of Craft & Collaboration; a networking and skill-building meetup for documentary filmmakers by the Seattle Documentary Association in Seattle.

We still get goosebumps when we revisit memories of last year's sold-out Craft & Collaboration event – it was a complete success! We loved connecting with and learning from so many non-fiction storytellers and creatives that we couldn't wait to plan a second edition for this year. Whether you attended last year's event or not, we encourage you to join us this year!

Don't miss this chance to learn from industry professionals and contribute to making our community even stronger through connection and collaboration.


Event Highlights:

  • Panel Discussions with Q&A Sessions
  • Networking Opportunities
  • Breakout Sessions with Panelists


Topics Covered:

  • Ethics of Documentary Filmmaking
  • Mobile Phone Filmmaking
  • How to Conduct a Great Interview
  • Case Study of a Doc Film from Pre through Post

Speakers and special guests to be announced soon!


Early-bird tickets will be available for the first purchasers. Grab yours now!



And... don't forget to ADD A BOXED MEAL for lunch.

Please keep the following in mind when you purchase your ticket, as it will be your chance to order a boxed lunch for an additional cost and select a specific meal.

You will have a variety of options to choose from, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free. These pre-ordered meals will be available during a dedicated lunch hour on the day of the event.

We are simply a middleman for our caterer, so these meals must be pre-ordered. We will not be able to offer them on the day of the event.

The deadline to order meals is Wednesday, June 5th at 11:59 pm PT.

You are also welcome to bring your own lunch if you'd like. Additionally, we will provide complimentary drinks and snacks.
