DOC Alberta

DOC Alberta Members Sarah Taylor and Anna Cooley have an exciting two months ahead. Check out “Invisible Imagination” at Calgary International Film Festival - CIFF and Broad View International Film Festival.

Congratulations to the Alberta-wide Crip Trip team, many of whom are Documentary Organization of Canada members, on their 15 nominations at this year’s Rosie Awards.
Be sure to show your support by giving them a like and follow.
Stay tuned for more nomination announcements from our Alberta members.

We are incredibly humbled to see Crip Trip nominated 15 times at this year’s AMPIA Rosie Awards, across everything from Best Unscripted Series and Cultural Diversity to directing, writing, cinematography, editing, sound and original music. You can watch Seasons 1 and 2 on AMI - you can watch Season 1, with Season 2 premiering on TVO Docs this fall!
In production on Season 3!

This show is made by a small but mighty team who somehow keep turning chaos, breakdowns, questionable decisions and a whole lot of miles into television we’re incredibly proud of - true representation of our community.

Huge congratulations to all of our nominees — and to the entire team that got us here.
FIFTEEN!!! 🌹🌹🌹

Workshop Update: Building Your Audience

We remain committed to bringing this workshop to Alberta's documentary community and are currently exploring new dates. We look forward to sharing more details soon.

Thank you for your continued support of DOC Alberta and Alberta's documentary filmmaking community.
