Seattle Documentary Association

Mission

Seattle Documentary Association cultivates and supports an equitable and professional community of nonfiction storytellers.

Description

Education - Collaboration - Community

Those foundational principles constitute the essence of our mission. SeaDoc, led entirely by volunteers, is committed to cultivating the art of non-fiction storytelling through a diverse array of year-round programming and events. With your generous backing, SeaDoc's initiatives thrive, encompassing Work-in-Progress screenings, insightful panel discussions, engaging social gatherings, and an exclusive cohort program tailored for directors, producers, and editors.

More than a decade ago, the Seattle Documentary Association (SeaDoc) was founded by a dedicated collective of independent documentary filmmakers who shared a common objective: to create a platform for both emerging and established documentary filmmakers from the Pacific Northwest.

Your support of SeaDoc translates into a direct and meaningful contribution to the dynamic documentary community in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Your donation ensures the continuity of our mission. Our organization provides documentary filmmakers essential resources, support, and networking opportunities.
