DOC NYC

The other day I had one of those experiences where I felt like my soul was fed the food it had been craving.  I attended the "First Time Filmmakers Day" of DOC NYC at the IFC Center and let me tell you... I am pumped for where life is heading.  I've had an idea for a documentary floating in my brain for a little bit now, so when I found out about DOC NYC I knew I had to attend.  The directors, producers, speakers and community at the event were overwhelmingly supportive and passionate about creating non-fiction films.  "I hope you're not in this for the money," one of the directors told me after I mentioned my interest in pursuing documentary filmmaking.  "These are passion projects."  I loved that phrase, "passion project." That's what I want to create and I finally figured out how to tell stories I've been wanting to share.

Now, on to learning the ins and outs of this industry...
