Doc Ignite

Support the 2012 People’s Choice Award!

During the 2012 Hot Docs Festival, Doc Ignite will be dedicated to the People’s Choice Award. All films in the Festival, with the exception of retrospective titles, are eligible for this award. 100% of the funds from the People’s Choice Award campaign will go directly to the filmmakers to recognize their outstanding work and contribute to the development of their next project.

Hot Docs loves helping filmmakers fund and launch their documentaries, to see their hard work ignite before our eyes.

Hot Docs and doc filmmakers are calling on you, the audience, to take an active role in the production process. Help make a big difference for films, filmmakers and their stories by igniting projects at a critical stage of their production.

Every two months, Doc Ignite will feature a new doc-in-progress. Each project has been carefully selected by Hot Docs to showcase the best films in production, films that will share moving and impactful stories by a variety of talented Canadian filmmakers.

What’s in it for the films and filmmakers?

Your pledge dollars and help spreading the word will directly fund, launch, and ignite these docs, enabling them to reach their goals and share their story with audiences around the world.

What’s in it for you?

In exchange for your support you’ll receive special incentives – from both the filmmaking team and from Hot Docs – no matter what amount you pledge. Pretty sweet, huh? Of course a heartfult thanks from the filmmakers and the Hot Docs crew is in the cards, as well as that warm and fuzzy feeling you get from knowing that you’ve helped a filmmaker take one giant step closer to realizing their dream, and that your participation will be forever connected to the project and the creative process. Lucky you.
