1) Find a way to make something. If you have a script or have an idea for a doc, make it attainable within your means and make it happen. Who do you know? What access do you have? What resources are at your disposal? With the answers to those questions in mind, what new, unique perspectives can you offer?
2) Always look for a way to make things work and focus on being a facilitator to the story and those looking to tell their story.
3) Our most recent documentary project is following investigative reporting on corruption in an institution. I recently heard stories by those who had suffered as a result of this corruption. The most important thing is to maintain the integrity of what you’re trying to tell. For many projects, these stories are a lot more personal to others than they are to you. Finding a way to respect that and act accordingly is of huge importance.
4) Our current investigative docu-series will hopefully have real-world effects for those who have suffered at the hands of this institution. What more can you hope for from a documentary series than real-world dialogue and impact?
