DC/DOX sets out to prove that film festivals still matter.

The Washington Post, 06.16.23

When documentary mainstay AFI Silverdocs decided to exit DC, festival alumnus Sky Sitney and Jamie Shor did not take it easy—instead, they took over.

The goal was to create an influential, classic, and long-lasting brand identity to set the tone for a new, visionary era of documentary film in DC.
