Things worth noticing

Boundaries are terrain, not a gate.

Use what fits your project. Something private, borrowed, uncertain or culturally specific might deserve another thought; a loose personal experiment may need very little process at all.

Documentary notebook and source tools

Often straightforward

Usually easy to share after a quick look.

These items can often move into a public page once they have been checked.

Film factsTitle, year, maker and public synopsis

Keep the wording plain, sourced and clear about uncertainty.

Event factsScreening date, venue and host

Publish only when the event details are confirmed and intended for public use.

Source trailReviewed links and citations

Include access dates, provenance and limits so the trail can be checked later.

Maybe pause

Worth another thought before sharing widely.

Generated Markdown is a working draft. You choose what stays close, what needs another conversation and what is ready to travel.

Personal dataContact details and raw interview notes

Do not publish private contact information, rough personal notes or consent-sensitive material.

Place and cultureProtected places and permission notes

Hold back cultural review details, safety notes, access details and place-sensitive information.

Unverified claimsRough allegations or unresolved disagreements

Keep claims private until the source trail, right of reply and public wording are ready.

Optional overlays

Specific destinations can add their own conditions.

A festival, prize, school, funder, platform, archive, community partner or culturally sensitive project may ask for more. Those conditions belong to that context; the open toolkit does not enforce one universal rulebook.
