It’s commonly believed that the NEH docs are “traditional” in their style and format. Can you give some examples of more experimental work?
Good question. The NEH favors projects with strong narratives and high production values. Having said this, many projects that were considered “experimental” or risky when they received Endowment funds have since been widely emulated and are now considered “traditional.” We are always looking for creative filmmakers who will deliver the sort of content the NEH is known for while advancing the documentary genre.
