Long-form media creation through documentaries and docu-reality programming have always been my favorite form of storytelling.
Starting with the blank canvas and often no knowledge of the subject matter, I take on the role of the audience to find the real story.
Talking and listening to real people through interviews and spending time both on and off camera is my strength as a producer and filmmaker. I tend to get stories and information that most others miss, simply because I listen. Then follow up. Then listen some more.
Being genuinely interested in people and what they have to say goes a long way towards getting all of the information. Then having the wherewithal to comb through endless transcripts and many hours of editing to craft the story into its final form is the end reward.
