Even though I’ve known you for almost 30 years, I learned a lot about your professional journey! I’m looking forward to reading more and especially for your recommendations
Great post. Read my trials and tribulations working with steamers and broadcasters in trying to get a story off the ground that will be seen as the biggest miscarriage of justice in British history. I’m facing all the same issues Errol Morris faced in the Geoffrey MacDonald story. It’s an impossible climate at the moment. https://thedocmaker.substack.com/p/innocence-porn
I've been a documentary editor for twenty years and am seeing many changes afoot. I look forward to reading your perspective! Also, nice job on Op-Docs - there are so many I have loved and studied.
Reading this is so exciting on a Friday morning! I'm currently at the tail end of my career in construction management and my kid, Ray Violett, a talented young filmmaker has agreed to team up with their old man on a documentary. The type of doc you've described, socially relevant told in an artful compelling way really defines what my goal is with my project. I look forward to watching the docs you've mentioned and future docs and conversations on your Substack.

Thanks so much for sharing what’s happening.
Glad you’re doing this! Indeed the audience is huge, and growing internationally, and many of the best (and biggest) films don’t follow formulas.
Thank you!!! We will save and build a new way for docs to get out there… because as you say there is a giant audience
