DOCUMENTING THE DOCUMENTARY (PART 3): DISCOVERING YOUR STORY
In my last entry I talked about how I decided to get started making documentaries. It basically boiled down to; I was too inexperienced and insecure to make a narrative short or feature, my time was limited (or better, I needed to make it in a time frame that was logical to my job schedule) and I had an interest in the “strange but true” world of documentary filmmaking…
