DreamDox 2026 was BIGGER & BETTER!

Check out the recap >

DreamDox will return in 2027!

Nearly 100 Indiana filmmakers gathered to share ideas, make connections, and dream a little bigger about what documentary storytelling could look like in our state. Now, we’re watching DreamDox attendees pitch projects at PitchDox, launch new films, form creative partnerships, and continue building momentum in exciting ways.

Next year's DreamDox will once again take place in partnership with Heartland Film's Indy Shorts International Film Festival, placing our gathering right in the heart of one of Indiana's biggest weeks for filmmakers. During the winter, we’ll be working on an INCREDIBLE speaker lineup, along with new opportunities to connect, learn, and be inspired alongside fellow storytellers from across the state.
