As funding and distribution opportunities shrink, independent documentary filmmakers must rethink sustainability. This workshop explores impact-driven filmmaking as a pathway to long-term artistic stability, community transformation, and systemic change.

Led by impact producer and director Resita Cox, the session reframes impact campaigns as a core part of the filmmaking process—not an afterthought. Using the Freedom Hill Youth Media Camp as a case study, participants will learn how prioritizing community contribution over profit can build equitable models that pay filmmakers, remove barriers for underserved communities, and create lasting impact.

This webinar will be in partnership with the Duke Center for Documentary Studies.
