New filmmaker profile: Charlotte Mikkelborg

Since launching her first feature-length documentary, Building 173, at this year's Sunny Side of the Doc, former BBC China correspondent Charlotte Mikkelborg has taken on many other firsts. She took part in the business side of selling a doc for the first time, she got her first sale and, right after her trip to La Rochelle, she found out she was pregnant with twins. Amidst all of this she also learned what it's like to sell a China-based documentary in the wake of the Olympics and to sell a unconventionally made, partially animated doc when channels just don't know what slot to put it in.
