Just a quick one.
I'm back from Hot Docs for about a week now and it was brilliant.
Anyone that is interested in documentary should go to check out this festival. Audiences will find some of the best documentaries in the workd playing in some of the nicest settings. Filmmakers will find just about every funder worth talking too for feature-length documentaries. The whole thing is so well organised and friendly. The Canadians are always friendly.
One particular highlight was the Toronto Documentary Forum. It's a filmmakers pitching forum watched by a room full of producers, filmmakers, funders and press. The room itself is magnificent - like an academic auditorium in University of Toronto. It all sounds so daunting writing this but it's so well set up that I could imagine pitching there wouldn't be too bad. And what an opportunity!
They have all sorts of video and reports on the Hot Docs website if you want to learn more.

About Me
- rosswhitaker.tv
- This blog is mainly about documentary films... but it's also about Irish film and, well, all films really. I've been known to make the odd film or tv show myself, so they'll probably get a mention. Other than that, I'll probably write about whatever codology catches my fancy. But I'll try to avoid politics because I might get angry. Thanks for taking a look. ******************************************** A quick review of my work would include SAVIOURS, BIG TIME, BYE BYE NOW, BLIND MAN WALKING, PRIME TIME, HOME TURF, WHEN ALI CAME TO IRELAND and a few more.
