ShareDoc
Once upon a time, in the famous festival IDFA, the team behind ShareDoc wanted to explore the impact on the audience of a peer-to-peer documentary platform. The answer was clear: the audience loved this alternative way of getting involved directly with the protagonists or charities.
With a grant from Creative Europe ShareDoc could set up the platform how it is today. In a nutshell, ShareDoc enables documentary lovers to take action after watching a documentary by supporting a protagonist or a charity with a QR code featured in the credits; and to act for impact by donating or igniting a petition or organizing awareness.
ShareDoc is the brainchild of Anne-Marie Borsboom, an Amsterdam native working as a filmmaker and producer. Anne-Marie was the first camerawoman in the Netherlands, collaborating with a broad array of directors. Her entire filmography has been broadcasted in the Netherlands. 'Homesick', 'Caraval Woman ', and 'Boi, Song of a Wanderer ‘ that was nominated for Prix Europa and TIFF in the category Best International Documentary, are some of the movies made by Anne-Marie. Throughout her career, she engaged and interacted with film festival directors and filmmakers, which gave her the idea to create a platform that empowers documentary makers and their audiences to give back. ShareDoc is the result of her journey as a devoted filmmaker. Anne Marie Borsboom is the founder& CEO ShareDoc. For the project, she collaborates with Ruth Terpstra Go-Founder ShareDoc, she is a freelance sound technician in the film industry with extensive experience in project innovation and management.
The Foundation ShareDotDoc RSIN 859913909 is officially formed in 2019, is made out of Ada Vermeer-Janse -Treasures ShareDoc (accountant as profession) and José Smits - Chairman ShareDoc (Works as independent socioeconomic research consultant, specializing in social inclusiveness ) and Michelle van den Berg -Secretary ShareDoc (humanitarian project manager at Oxvam Novib).

ShareDoc idea inspired me immediately as I heard about it. As a filmmaker I ask myself sometimes if filmmaking still makes sense if you can't creat Impact. ShareDoc gives us the possibility to create impact and to make the world a bit better!

After 30 years of working in film and media education, I am now an enthusiastic ambassador until all socially moved filmmakers and relevant festivals know how to optimally use ShareDoc.
Priya Woods -Filmmaker, London
After watching a very powerful film, I often find myself feeling at a loss. For me, it is one thing to raise awareness but it feels like only half the job is done. As directors, we set out with the intention of changing things for the better and this platform allows you to see that to fruition. I believe ShareDoc will innovatively shape the film/viewer relationship and I am very excited to be a part of such an impactful and important movement.

Can a film change the world? Many of us documentarians set out our journey with the hope to contribute meaningfully to our world and shape new mentalities throughout the films we create, but is our impact reaching further than creating awareness? ShareDoc keeps the momentum going by turning inspiration into action. That is why I am a proud ShareDoc Ambassador!
