📹 About this video
Most solo documentary filmmakers shoot loads of footage, fill hard drives, then stall in the edit. In this video, I walk you through the seven lessons that helped me finish my films over the last twenty years. Story first, trust on camera, simple gear, smart prep, and why you shouldn’t try to do it all alone.
If you're making a documentary on your own and want a clear path through filming and editing, this will help you stay focused and finish your film.
