Seattle Documentary Association Works In Progress
Emerging or unverified festival
Seattle Documentary Association Works In Progress is a Seattle-based screening series for documentary projects in late rough-cut form, hosted by SeaDoc at venues such as the Northwest Film Forum. It is notable for its peer-feedback format, which brings filmmakers and audiences together for moderated critique, and for serving as a development forum for emerging and established documentary makers from the Pacific Northwest. Its significance in the film festival circuit lies in helping documentaries refine their cuts before completion, giving projects a path toward festival readiness and wider distribution.
