The OregonMade Creative Foundation has partnered with the arts-based nonprofit, NW Documentary and OregonMade, to establish fellowships for two documentary filmmakers to attend Oregon Documentary Camp from May 14th-May 17th, 2020.
Doc Camp is an annual, 4-day professional development retreat that brings working documentary filmmakers to Silver Falls State Park for screenings, workshops, panel discussions, networking events, and a chance to share their own work. Attendees are given a unique opportunity to leave the often-isolating world of documentary filmmaking behind, and gather in the beautiful woods of Oregon to develop their professional networks with peers from around the country.
