“If you work in nonfiction film you are intimately aware of budget cutbacks and slower commissions and the soft theatrical market,” says Porter. “We are all aware of the problems but we can’t just take our films and go home and pull the covers over our heads. What I want to lean into at MipDoc is what are people doing in order to get through this period? How do we work smarter? How do we collaborate more? How do we support each other through the slowdown, which is quite real.”

'We have to examine how we are working, how we are pitching, who we are pitching,' Porter says. 'You have to do more work to promote your work.'
