Filmmakers take note: Points North Documentary Film Forum at the Camden International Film Festival had a lineup of panels, pitches and real world advice for filmmakers and documentary film fans alike.

Here at the Points North Pitch, filmmakers were given 7 minutes to pitch their films and get invaluable feedback from a panel of some of the biggest names in documentary production, funding and broadcasting including @bnewman01 (Brainstorm Media/DirecTV), Daniel Chalfen (Naked Edge Films), Kristin Feeley (Sundance Institute), Leah Giblin (Cinereach), Chris White (POV), Kathryn Lo (PBS), Ashley Bloom Kenny (Al Jazeera America Documentary Unit), Sheila Leddy (Fledgling Fund), Lyda Kuth (LEF Foundation) and Alice Apley (Documentary Educational Resources).

Be sure to check out the great work these organizations are both making possible.
