Getting Real

Getting Real is about skipping all the stuff that represents real (charts, graphs, boxes, arrows, schematics, wireframes, etc.) and actually building the real thing.

Clarity in documentary and media: The Getting Real Conference hosted over participants, featured keynotes and master classes from creators, thought leaders and filmmakers, provided mentor meetings, networking and brainstorm sessions, and generated important dialogue among film professionals, innovators and documentary enthusiasts.

It is one of the prime documentary gatherings in the world - don't miss it! Survey results from the more than conference attendees demonstrated that Getting Real not only succeeded in bringing the documentary community together to confront the critical issues facing the field, but also achieved impressive results in other areas as well:. Getting Real has become a primary destination for documentary professionals.

There is a sense of purpose and community, but also seriousness and accountability. The documentary community sorely needed a venue for sustained conversations about professional practices, changes, and norms. At Getting Real, the coffee-clutch exegeses and late-night diatribes are promoted to the main stage.

These nascent ideas can become organized discussions, working groups, and action items. For me, Getting Real also brought the opportunity to meet and collaborate with peers that I was creatively attuned to already, but had not met before. I came to Getting Real to connect with the documentary film community. I met an executive producer who signed on to my latest film at the conference, thanks to the Real Talk sessions. It was beautiful and inspiring to be reminded of aesthetic possibilities of the documentary form!
