MOXIEDOCS
MoxieDocs’ Co-Production Award deadline has been extended to October 30, 2004.
MoxieDocs’ goal is to provide select documentaries with asistance in production, postproduction, and theatrical distribution. Since its founding, the MoxieDocs Award has become one of the most valuable production resources available to documentary filmmakers with projects in the work-in-progress stage. Each competition receives an average of 200 submissions, five finalists are then selected for a “pitch” at which projects are presented to a panel of jurors made up of award winning documentary filmmakers and industry executives. Submissions are judged based on subject matter, a filmmaker’s access to the issue at hand and production personnel experience.
Past MoxieDocs Award recipients include Farmingville, which premiered at Sundance 2004, aired on the PBS series P.O.V. earlier this summer, and will open theatrically at the Quad Cinemas in NYC on October 22; Cheeks, which screened as part of the 2004 IFP Market’s Spotlight on Documentaries and which focuses on a Southern New Jersey family as they face despair, suicide attempts, manic depression, schizophrenia, and secret societies trying to ruin their lives; Hart Island: An American Cemetery, about the NYC-based potter’s field which dates back to the American Civil War; and Revolucion: Visions of Cuba Since the Revolution, a feature-length work-in-progress which traces the Cuban Revolution as experienced by three distinct generations of photographers.
