ABOUT DocCelerator
DocCelerator is a series of stand-alone workshops running in two different formats.
DocCeleratorStory is for projects in development. Here participants will define and develop the key structural narrative elements of their story.
DocCeleratorWorkInProgress is for projects with already shot material or a rough cut. Here participants will get structured feedback on their recorded material, and then use it to strengthen the story and distribution options.
DocCelerator is an online documentary workshop series launched by Paradiddle Pictures in May 2020. The format run by Geoffrey Smith and Ove Rishøj Jensen, has received a lot of interest and positive feedback from documentary makers world-wide. So far we have run 26 editions and had over 250 documentary makers take part. All DocCelerators are project-based workshops taking place online. The length of each workshop is two days and can accommodate 4-6 selected project teams.
