I don't know if I'd mastered that documentary format, but I wanted to move on from it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the greatest thing about making a documentary is your ability to just follow the story and the subject.
Maybe if I found something I was really passionate about, which is entirely possible, I would make another documentary, but it's not a good career choice for anybody. I don't recommend it.
I don't think I'll be making documentaries my whole life.
You know, the process of making a documentary is one of discovery, and like writing a story, you follow a lead and that leads you to something else and then by the time you finish, the story is nothing like you expected.
When I started my filmmaking journey 17 years ago, I honestly didn't know what a documentary film was.
I've always slightly harboured a dream of making a film, a documentary feature. Somehow, I just got into a way of working a routine of making TV docs.
I'm not trying to acquire a reputation as serious documentary maker for its own sake.
But I can say what interests me about documentary is the fact that you don't know how the story ends at the onset - that you are investigating, with a camera, and the story emerges as you go along.
Well, I want to do everything in sort of a documentary style, ever since I started in the '80s.
I think what I love about the documentary process is that you bring yourself to the documentary. And hopefully that makes you ask good questions, and hopefully that makes you reveal a little bit about yourself as well.
