There’s so much more to nonfiction storytelling than what happens behind the camera. From navigating rights, clearances, and generative AI, to crowdfunding and creating a sustainable independent career, the path from idea to finished project comes with plenty of questions and hurdles along the way. Designed for emerging and early-career storytellers, or those looking to refresh their skills as the field evolves, this practical series covers the essential knowledge every nonfiction video creative needs in their toolkit.

Across four sessions, you’ll hear from experts on archival and clearance (Crux Entertainment), AI and manipulated media (WITNESS), crowdfunding and audience development (Seed&Spark), as well as business structures and revenue models for independent storytellers (StorySuite). Together, these sessions tackle the questions that often live behind the scenes of nonfiction production - helping storytellers protect their work, connect with audiences, and build more sustainable careers.
