About
In 2020, Docs In Progress moved the Fellowship Program to a virtual world, opening the program to a more diverse set of filmmakers. Starting in 2023, the now Legacy Fellowship has been refocused to serve those filmmakers who already have a story treatment and are about to embark on principal photography and/or ready for post production. Documentary Filmmakers, who are still in development and need assistance, should apply for Docs' new fellowship program for Documentary Story Development.
COHORT MEETING DATES: 7 TUESDAYS - 5/23, 6/20, 7/25, 8/22, 9/26, 10/24, 11/28 FROM 7:00-9:30 PM (virtual-Zoom)
FEES: There is no application fee. If accepted into the Fellowship Program, Fellows pay a participation fee of $550 (due in full before the programs starts).
The submission deadline for the 2023 Fellowship Programs has now closed.

APPLICATION REVIEW PROCESS
The online application should take about 20-30 minutes to complete. Please read the application very carefully. The Docs In Progress review committee will review the individual application and assess the overall composition of the cohort in their decision-making. Filmmakers should have a solid idea that they want to develop, specific goals for how the Fellowship will help at their stage, and a willingness to give and receive feedback as part of the cohort.
Accepted Fellows must commit to attending 90% of these meetings since they form the core of the Fellowship Program. (This means you may miss only one meeting during your fellowship.)
The submission deadline for the 2023 Fellowship Programs has now closed.
