Description

How do you balance creativity and factual truth? How these 2 things come together? Is there such a thing as fly on the wall in documentary filmmaking? I talk about how directing always introduces perspective — even if you don’t mean to — and why creativity should enhance the facts, not replace them.Topics include:Why you can’t separate creativity from perspectiveThe myth of “fly on the wall” objectivityHow every camera angle influences the truthWhere ethical lines begin to blur in storytelling
