PROJECTING PROTEST by Tom Clement

Feature Documentary: The film is in the final rough cut stage and the filmmaker is seeking constructive feedback to finalize the film.

ABOUT THE FILM

Projecting Protest

Projecting Protest is a 22-minute documentary exploring the rise of unsanctioned light projection activism and its implications for free speech. It covers figures like left-wing activist Robin Bell, who projected messages onto the DC Trump Hotel, and Neo-Nazi leader Josh Nunes, whose antisemitic projections led Florida lawmakers to ban such acts. The film challenges assumptions about legality and what may need to be tolerated to preserve the right to dissent.

ABOUT WORKS IN PROGRESS SCREENINGS

Docs In Progress has workshopped more than 175 documentaries through our signature rough cut Work-in-Progress screenings, where filmmakers share a not-quite finished version of their documentary to a general audience.

During the event, a facilitator from Docs In Progress leads a workshop-style feedback session where the audience provides constructive feedback on story progression, story structure, character/topic development of these not-quite finished documentaries. This can be essential to help filmmakers move forward with their creative process toward finalizing the film.

While we welcome and treasure feedback from other filmmakers or topic experts at these screenings, we are equally interested in hearing from laypeople since most filmmakers are making films for a general audience.
