"According to the buzz at the bagel bar, the first-ever WESTDOC Conference exceeded everyone's expectations, thanks to a remarkable lineup of panelists...who were often hanging out at the bagel bar. 'The most senior executives are coming to this event," said filmmaker Peter von Puttkamer of Gryphon Productions, who works with Discovery, Animal Planet and History Channel. "And they're sitting down with the people. They're even going to the cocktail parties."

"We just went to a Documentary and Reality conference in LA called WESTDOC a great 3-day event full of seminars and meets and greets with funders, programmers, agents and filmmakers. All in all, it was an amazing conference and we plan to go again next year. One of the best things about WESTDOC is that we were able to meet one-on-one with a few network programmers. These meetings are gold!"
