APPLY TO THE 2019 NEXT DOC FELLOWS PROGRAM

The 2019 NeXt Doc Fellowship kicks off with a week-long intensive program that takes place June 2nd-8th (dates subject to change) at the Carey Institute for Global Good in Rensselearville, NY in Upstate New York.  The intensive is followed by a year of mentorship, online masterclasses, access to film festivals, industry convenings and will close a week long gathering at the True/False Film Festival in Columbia, Missouri which will take place the first week of March 2020.

****Applications open on Monday February 25th, 2019****

NeXt Doc aims to create space for filmmakers of color and those from communities and backgrounds that historically have not had access to film programs and development of documentary filmmaking skills. The program is intended to be accessible to all filmmakers who are eligible to apply no matter their financial status. This is made possible by in-kind contributions from Youth FX and The Carey Institute for Global Good as well as other funders and supporting partners.  ***We highly encourage women, people of color and LGBTQ filmmakers to apply.

Check out the 2018 NeXt Doc program booklet to get a sense of what to expect at the week-long intensive:

There is no cost to apply, and those selected will attend FREE of charge with food, housing and workshops all fully covered.  ***Do keep in mind that if you are selected as a fellow for the 2019 NeXt Doc program you will be responsible for covering your travel costs to the Albany, NY area where we will arrange transportation to the Carey Institute.
