DOC SCENE LAB

Session One: July 21–August 4
Tuesdays, 7–9pm ET (Live on Zoom)
Includes replay access + Rita Baghdadi Masterclass

Where “run-and-gun” becomes cinematic.

This lab is for filmmakers ready to move beyond survival mode.

Across three live sessions, we’ll study vérité scenes — uncut, messy, emotional — and learn how to shape them into sequences that hold weight.
Not just in the edit, but in the moment.

You’ll get tactical tools for:

• Shooting handheld with intention

• Designing visual sequences that move

• Making scenes editors actually love to cut

Plus — you’ll learn directly from filmmakers who are in it.
Including Emmy-winning DP/director Rita Baghdadi, who’s joining us for a special masterclass (July 25, 12–3pm ET) with vérité scenes from Sirens and Photographer, plus a full hour of live Q&A.

This isn’t about having the perfect gear or perfect plan.
It’s about building your eye, your instincts, and your confidence — one scene at a time.
