Helpful resource for documentary filmmakers from Doc Society. "Safe + Secure has been launched as a result of increased awareness about the risks to which documentary filmmakers expose themselves - and their crews, subjects and sources - in order to bring important stories to the world.
In response to this field-wide need, Doc Society has been working with experts to develop tools for both filmmakers and funders to help mitigate risks, be they digital, legal, journalistic, or related to safety and health." https://safeandsecure.film/

Environmental Media Association
Thanks for showing leadership on this issue, Norway! Around 46,000 to 58,000 square miles of forest are lost each year—a rate equal to 48 football fields every minute.
I have been asked many media related questions over the years ranging from career advice for aspiring media makers, to production resources, and where to see good quality films. I have added a Production Resources page to the Katz Tale, LLC website. It includes local film events, some of my favorite recently released films, and shout outs to a few great media makers I know (eventually I will add more) Check out the resources here. http://katztale.com/resources/
