Doc/Next is a one year training initiative by Sheffield Doc/Fest and is open to documentary and all non-fiction #directors, producers, line producers, editors and DOPs across all platforms.
Liz McIntyre CEO and festival director says: “We have listened to emerging talent, who, having secured their first few credits, articulate the difficulty of jumping to the next rung. We have created a programme to nurture the best of that emerging talent, and help them build sustainable #filmmaking careers. Doc/Next is a unique programme that responds to important industry demand in a range of disciplines.”
Doc/Next will provide group training in Sheffield including: bespoke training, masterclasses, business development, peer-to-peer learning, networking, mentoring, placements and delegate attendance at Sheffield Doc/Fest 2017.
The programme is specifically aimed at UK professionals with their first handful of credits who have been in the industry for 18 months to five years, and are ambitious to move up to the next rung of the ladder.
Applications can be submitted from today until 28 July 2016 with the programme due to begin in September.
