For independent filmmakers there is something known as “the bubble.” Working in relative isolation, hunched in front of a computer screen, it’s sometimes hard to know whether the story is taking shape or falling apart.

In 2004, documentary filmmakers Adele Schmidt and Erica Ginsberg decided to try and burst that bubble by getting local filmmakers and film-goers together to screen documentary films in progress - hence the name, “Docs-In-Progress.” The bi-monthly screenings provide much needed feedback for filmmakers and an opportunity for the audience to offer up something never in short supply… their opinions.
