ABOUT THE EVENT: For the last three years, PROOF has explored the world of proof-of-concepts for narrative projects. This year, we’re highlighting a curated crop of proof-of-concept documentaries. We’re excited to celebrate these four selected films and in 2026, PROOF will officially open submissions for documentaries. Hear directly from these documentarians on how they made their films and their journey to make a feature or series. ABOUT THE FILMS: “You’ll Be Happier,” Dir. Daniel Lombroso, 20 Min, USA L.A.
