 Five emerging filmmakers pitched their documentary ideas to a panel of programming executives, who gave un-sugarcoated, real-world critiques of the projects as well as the pitches. The winner, Christopher Wong, received a $5,000 grant, sponsored by American Documentary, Inc., producers of the acclaimed P.O.V. series, for his pitched documentary called Whatever It Takes about students at a new high school in the Bronx. Last year's recipient, Asparagus!: A Stalk-umentary, had its world premiere at the 2006 Full Frame Documentary Festival.
