Continuing the Discussion with The D-Word
Today's episode is only the beginning of the conversation. Now it's time to have your voice heard, #doclifer!
So where can you do this?
THE D-WORDWHAT IS THE D-WORD
The D-Word began in 1996 as a series of online journal entries by filmmaker Doug Block depicting the joy and angst of making and selling his feature documentary, Home Page. In the words of Mr. Block, "it was meant to inform, inspire, humor and depress the hell out of working or aspiring documentary filmmakers, or anyone else interested in the filmmaking process, for that matter!"
We had Doug on the show way back in EPISODE #105, where he discussed those early days working as an independent documentary filmmaker. And how this would lead him to creating the first incarnation of The D-Word.
The D-Word has long-since evolved into a virtual community and is now the largest, longest-running one of its kind, currently numbering more than 19,000 members from 147 countries.
Its focus is now on hosting free discussions on documentary film and production and leading a documentary life. Sound familiar?
