“Producing, Directing and Ethical Dilemmas” panel begins at 1:45 p.m.

Should participants be compensated for their time? Should they be given credit as paid co-producers? How about editorial influence? There is no documentary rule book for navigating the ethical dilemmas filmmakers consistently face and often in isolation and without a guiding framework. This session led by Louise Rosen (International Documentary Association) includes ethics thought leaders Sarah Rachael Wainio (The Documentary Producers Alliance), Natalie Bullock Brown (Documentary Accountability Working Group) and Camilla Hall (Subject). Learn when and how to approach potential ethical issues in your documentaries, how to remain accountable and what to do when you run into unanticipated predicaments. You will leave equipped with new structures to help make sense of ethical dilemmas.
