ABOUT DIY/FYC: In an awards season first, four independent documentary films have joined together to campaign as a group for voters’ attention. These are intended to be collaborative, celebratory, conversational FYC events about the four films and the people behind them, the state of the industry, and how underrepresented stories can fit into a field dominated by large corporations and known names with massive promotional budgets.With the events, DIY FYC aims to introduce new models for documentary awards campaigning, centering collaboration over competition, while creating space and opportunity for a much-needed conversation around the future of documentary distribution.
