Grierson DocLab Alumni on the Shortlist

Our Grierson DocLab Alumni continue to make waves in the industry, working in small indies, bigger studios and everywhere in between. Some of them even worked at companies and on productions that are now shortlisted for the 2024 Grierson British Documentary Awards.
