As documentary filmmakers, the process of being able to deliver a fine cut to festivals, distributors, broadcast, and impact companies/producers can be tricky. What comes first–the festival/distributor/impact cut? And how do we satisfy all entities? What are the challenges in maintaining the vision of the film while honoring the film’s participants and the broadcaster/distributor?
