Filmmakers Workshop is a program of the Center for Independent Documentary that offers independent media artists a non-competitive, supportive community to strengthen their work.

About “Coexist”
Coexist explores the experiences of trauma survivors searching for ways to coexist with their loved ones’ murderers. As killing continues in Rwanda today and the government forces citizens to consider reconciliation, we examine how survivors cope when forced to face adversaries every day. In a world where innocent people are regularly attacked or killed because of who they are, we challenge the viewer: how can the experiences of Rwandans inform your efforts to build peaceful coexistence, eliminate hate crimes, and prevent all types of violence? When hate persists, how will you coexist?
About the Filmmaker
Adam Mazo is an experienced commercial television news producer embarking on his first full-length documentary film. Three years prior to production he spent time in Rwanda researching and shooting around the country beginning the investigation for what became “Coexist”.
Adam has a rough cut and would really appreciate YOUR feedback! We hope you’ll come! As usual, we’ll have some snacks…but bring something to add to the table if you are so moved!

I'm talking to a few investors to invest in the production of a couple of feature scripts that I would like to produce, and they want me to have some type of industry experience before they'll invest. So I'm looking to create a ten episode webseries. I will put together a team of writers and production crew for the webseries that will begin production in July of this year in Miami, FL. Please take a look at my website and contact me if you're interested.

Choosing The Independent's 10 to Watch is like trying to predict the future, or the stock market, or the weather in New England. The films on this list are in all stages of production and the filmmakers range from seasoned professionals to debut artists. So you might wonder how we named this particular group. How, exactly, does one go about predicting what 2010 has in store?
Editor's note: Below is just a sampling of Shechter's Sundance account. For the whole enchilada, visit her blog.
Hello from Sundance!
Pink slips and foreclosure notices. A few years ago, they seemed like some distant reality, something other people faced, people we didn’t know. Increasingly, though, the threat of job loss and foreclosure touches us all in some way. If we aren’t personally facing these issues, a family member, friend, or neighbor likely is.
