“in feature films
the director is god;
in documentary films
god is the director.”
– alfred hitchcock
Documentary field work: people
Regardless of what the subject matter, documentary work comes down to being able to capture the human story quickly and believably. Often, you only have one take to get it right. Necessity is mother of invention. From Zimbabwe to Rwanda, New York, Chicago or DeMoines, I have a track record of “getting the shot”.
