About The D-Word

The D-Word began in 1996 as a series of online journal entries by filmmaker Doug Block depicting the joy and angst of making and selling his feature documentary, Home Page. In the following years The D-Word evolved into the pre-eminent online community for documentary filmmakers, currently numbering more than 14,700 members from 127 countries. The D-Word offers a host of topics for working documentary professionals covering all aspects of the process including fundraising, production, camera, sound, distribution, legal and many more. It’s also a place to make friends and vent about what can be a difficult and frustrating process. Although The D-Word is an online community, the relationships formed there carry into the offline world, including formal get-togethers and events at film festivals. The D-Word also hosts a series of 5-day public topics, allowing a wider audience to ask questions of some of the leading experts in the field. Recent 5-day topics include distribution, crowdfunding, pitching and more. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the community is the warmth and generosity of its membership. If you are looking for contact information for a particular distributor, chances are someone will share it with you. Need a fixer in Nairobi? Ask The D-Word. Submitting a trailer to ITVS and looking for feedback from past successful applicants? Post it on The D-Word. Need your synopsis reworked? The community will be there for you. Since everything on the professional side of The D-Word is private and unlisted by Google, you can share these questions and more without the whole world knowing about it.
