Activism, Art, and the Business of Documentary Film with Jarod Neece and Nicholas Bruckman

SHOW NOTES:

Documentary filmmaker Nicholas Bruckman, along with guest host Jarod Neece, senior programmer at the Tribeca Festival, take a deep dive into the surprising intersections between activism, art, and industry. From disability rights in Not Going Quietly to NFT art in Minted, and the surprising government power plays behind The Price of Milk, Nick shares how he navigates storytelling, ethics, and business in the modern doc world. Along the way, the two pull back the curtain on film festivals, funding, and the fine line between passion and pragmatism.

This is a candid, funny, and eye-opening look at what it takes to fund nonfiction films that matter, and get them seen.
