It’s the 10th season of Loading Docs – an initiative to showcase Aotearoa’s documentary filmmakers. For a decade, it’s helped mentor emerging talent who’ve gone on to pursue successful careers in the screen industry.
Audiences can support projects and filmmakers through Boosted campaigns – an Arts Foundation crowdfunding platform to help them reach an all-or-nothing goal of $5000.
Speaking to Culture 101’s Perlina Lau, Loading Docs founder and filmmaker Julia Parnell says crowd-funding is an important part of the process. The filmmakers are supported in the creative process, through production and post-production, but Parnell also wanted to teach filmmakers about putting their finances together.
