This interview is so spot on, so realistic on the reality of getting started in making documentaries. Especially where he emphasizes how you still have to cover your living expenses (rent, food, insurances, etc) to have peace of mind (if that’s possible) to work on what you actually love, filmmaking. I agree, today there are more people making films but that doesn’t mean there are better films made. Quality over quantity still rules the day. Thank you. 👍🏼

I got quite a few chuckles out of this because these experiences he’s discussing are very real. This video is 8 years old but the way people are with film and their subjects, something about it won’t ever change. Thanks for diving in on this!

My god I had no idea Film Courage had been going on this long. This one is so useful to me; it came up when I was searching for some inside tips on documentary filmmaking. Terrific, I'm so grateful.

My Mum just reminded me of the fact that my stories are powerful if it's in a form of a documentary. So she has just motivated me for it. Thus interview is just a blessing. Thank you 🙏

“If you want to have a good career you have to be patient.” (41:37) Great interview! I watched WordPlay years ago and loved it. Really cool to hear the story behind it and their other films. As always, thank you @filmcourage 🙏

What a great interview! I'm only days away from shooting my first short documentary, and I was really looking for something that would give me both some practical hints on how to get the story across and some encouragement that I'm not the only one feeling out of my depth at this stage.

I am just getting into the sport of paramotoring an I think a documentary about this sport witch is becoming very popular needs someone to tell the history of how it evolved and where it's going. People are dying and with the right information a lot of death's can be avoided. A comprehensive list including the names, dates, location and equipment involved in the accidents and the circumstances surrounding the accidents will be well received. Can you take on this project? Will you? Anyone?

LOL, the Dog @ 12:30 in. Reminded me of a joke - two blokes half drunk sitting out the front of a pub, across the road a Dog stops to licks his crotch. One of the drunk fella's say's "Wish I could do that" .... after a pause of silence, the other man say's "do you think you might at least Pet him first?".

No release..or any kind of written contract..how has that not come back to you if you have worked with people ( and possibly their heirs)?

@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath 8 жыл бұрын

Is he seriously saying they don't get releases from people?

@katk7925 Жыл бұрын

No release? No contract at all?? And years of work? I DO trust people..but they change their mind.

What Patrick says at 7:05 resonates so much with one of the main reasons I shot my kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLZkoZue1KfeeGQ.html feature documentary: the main character's mom in our film had no idea how her son was living 2000 miles away or what was his work as a world-class techno DJ. She discovered it all on her iPad, 13 years after he left home!

Anatoly IVANOV do you have any recommendations for a Russian-speaking editor ? I am needing one for my documentary.

@ektaron 7 жыл бұрын

Honestly, no. I haven't worked or spotted an excellent Russian-speaking editor yet. Sorry.

I think making it too easy for kids to be a "filmmaker" is not necessarily good. If they really want to be a filmmaker won't they gravitate to it naturally? In my youth everybody that had the 96 piece, or was it 120, set of crayons in 1st grade didn't turn out to want to be an fine artist, thank god, but everybody wants to be called a "filmmaker" or a "photographer" for some reason, like cool factor. People also like to play at being an architect and design their own house or remodel. What an ugly disaster that often ends up being. Non profits love to teach kids to make videos in order to get statistics and political correctness justify their existence and funding.
