Abstract
Ingrid Kopp started her documentary career working in acquisitions and commissions at Channel 4 in the United Kingdom. Disillusioned by the rise of reality TV in the 1990s she went to the United States where philanthropic funding of documentary seemed to offer more opportunity for socially driven storytelling. Working for the independent film network Shooting People, she began to explore social media as a way of supporting traditional filmmaking. Over time, she began to appreciate the web as a medium. Ingrid is currently Director of Digital Initiatives at the Tribeca Film Institute (TFI) to support innovative digital documentary production.
