"There's always a relationship we build, as editors, trying to understand how to construct whoever the character is and their different principles... It's always a different approach, depending on who the character is." - Alla Kovgan (Cunningham)
Whether you are approaching documentary or fiction work, filmmaking, writing or world building, structuring characters is a fundamental effort for growing the roots of any story. We continue to dive into the 2019 DOC NYC PRO archive to highlight some of the best panels to inspire all storytellers.

“I’ve learned that, to have this career, you need to know two things:
1. You really have to want this; and
2. If you have to learn to say no to some things.
You have to be okay to miss out on going out with friends so that you can have time to focus on your other projects.” – Kari Bentley-Quinn (playwright, WENDY AND THE NECKBEARDS)
