Docu-series is a by product of documentary filmmaking. Docu-series is defined as a series that follows a particular person or group of people and their involvement in real events and situations over a period of time. The Academy Awards’ eligibility for documentaries is any theatrically released nonfiction motion picture dealing creatively with cultural, artistic, historical, social, scientific, economic or other subjects. It may be photographed in actual occurrence, or may employ partial reenactment, stock footage, stills, animation, stop-motion or other techniques, as long as the emphasis is on fact and not on fiction. A short form documentary or docu-series, can be any of this sort of content that is told within 3-30 minutes but being able to tell powerful nonfiction stories within a small amount of time can propose itself to be challenging yet fun and exciting.
