Docs have long been based on books, but now feature films and television content are being created out of optioned documentaries. How do filmmakers pursue this path, what are the challenges, and what do you do when you get an inquiry about about your film’s rights? Marc Weiss (Consultant, David E. Kelley Productions) Tendo Nagenda (Plan B Productions), Annie Sundberg (co-director, THE DEVIL CAME ON HORSEBACK) and moderator: Sean Farnel (Hot Docs Festival).

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
