We challenged all of MinnMax's supporters to create a documentary under three minutes long, even if they have zero filmmaking experience. As always, the results blew us away. A huge thank you to all of MinnMax's supporters who contributed a documentary and make this entire outlet possible!   / minnmax   Watch the commentary-free version short documentaries here -    • Doc Lightning 2026 - No Commentary   Doc Lightning art by EmptyMaracas -   / emptymaracas   Check out the links below to previous Doc Lightning film festivals below...
