Writing Documentaries with Ipek Ghasghaie

In recent decades, documentaries have made

their way into home streaming platforms. A glance at online platforms reveals an extensive selection of documentaries and docuseries.

This means that glamorous fiction films, with their star-studded casts, thrilling action scenes and stunning visual effects, now face serious competition.

This shift provides screenwriters and storytellers with the opportunity to experiment with the craft of storytelling in a new format that has traditionally been the domain of documentary filmmakers.

In this workshop, we will explore documentaries from a storytelling perspective by a screenwriter. We aim to illuminate the exciting journey of documentary filmmaking for writers and documentary film enthusiasts.
