Erin Lee Carr in-conversation with Sandy George
DocWeek (20-25 February) is Australia’s international documentary event – a celebration of documentary film presented by Mercury Cinema and The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre.
A highlight of this year’s festival is your opportunity to hear from New York based filmmaker Erin Lee Carr, whose works have amassed over 25 million views. Discover more about the medium of online storytelling, and understand how the next generation of creators are using online distribution channels to establish a career and bring film to new audiences.
A documentary filmmaker living and working out of New York City, Erin’s works explore the intersection between the Internet and crime. Her film: Click. Print. Gun, about 3D printed guns, garnered 9.5 million views online and received the 2014 Webby for Best Individual short.
Erin’s work has been featured by Elle, CNN, the Huffington Post, and Time. Her work has also featured on the front page of YouTube. In 2014, she was green-lit to direct and produce a documentary for HBO Documentary Films about online surveillance. The piece, currently entitled Thought Crimes, is her directorial debut and due for release later this year.
