Documenting the Present, Preserving the Future

You have just spent years and tens of thousands of dollars to finish your documentary and your next step is to get into festivals and find distribution. But you’re missing another important step: monetizing all of the your film, including the outtakes, and ​preserving it beyond your lifetime. Experienced filmmakers will join speakers from the Association of Moving Image Archivists and the Academy Film Archive to explain what to include in your budget prior to shooting, the best steps to add metadata to your footage for future use, and the best methods to ensure your film will survive for generations to come.
