Documentaries Today: How Authentic Stories Have Reeled in New Audiences

Fueled by SVOD and AVOD programming, documentaries are finding a new home with younger audiences, with 80% watching at least monthly. As our thirst for real-life stories grows, the way we’re producing docs and the subjects filmmakers are focusing on are changing as well. In this panel discussion, Shutterstock’s Global CRO Jamie Elden will speak with Aiden Darné, Global Head of Shutterstock Studios, and the filmmakers of Bronx soccer story “We Are King”, celebrity photographer Miles “Diggzy” Diggs of “Money Shot,” and Keenan MacWilliam, director and multidisciplinary artist. How is the creative process changing? What technology is accelerating production? And how do you keep truth at the center of the story amid all the noise?

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.
