“ In the last decade, I feel the documentary genre has become severely saturated with copycats who own DV cameras, read an interesting article in a newspaper, and set out to hit it big with a doc feature about a subject worth maybe 1500 words at best. Contemporary American documentaries by newcomers especially have encouraged the idea that docs only require an interesting subject, not any formal style or artistic thought from behind the camera. Get some interviews, scan some photos, buy rights to stock footage, and find an editor.”
