The Spring 2022 dates for the DocCelerator workshop series are now out. DocCelerator provides documentary makers a method for a clearer dramaturgical structure for their documentary project.

For the Spring 2022 season of DocCelerator, there are two different formats of the workshop available. As a documentary maker, you can pick the one that fits best to your current needs. During a 2-day online DocCelerator workshop participants learn a set of tools for structuring documentary stories, that can used for current as well as for future projects.

Since the launch in May 2020, we have hosted 16 editions of the workshops. Here are some of the reactions that participants have provided:

Thanks to the DocCelerator workshop and your feedback, we reworked entirely our materials. To put it simply: Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you so much for this workshop. It brought me to the core of my film and gave me lots of inspiration and motivation!

About DocCelerator

DocCelerator is a series of stand-alone online documentary workshops, providing documentary makers a method for a clearer dramaturgical structure in documentary projects. Besides generating creative input, DocCelerator workshops save participants many hours of working and much money in production expenses. This is achieved through a more focused narrative structure, which saves hours of recordings not fitting to the film and many days of expensive editing. The essence of DocCelerator is to invest in the development in order to save on the production.

This Spring 2022 season of DocCelerator follows the 16 editions of DocCelerator already conducted since it was launched by Paradiddle Pictures in May 2020.
