ISBN: 9781032267296

In this new edition, Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and author Sheila Curran Bernard offers:
- a closer look at the way ethical nonfiction filmmakers take creative, authorial leaps while also remaining transparent with audiences;
- new tools for understanding how documentaries are structured, how they may rearrange time for storytelling effect, and how a simple narrative throughline can convey complexity without being a conventional “hero’s journey“;
- new conversations with filmmakers and educators including Dawn Porter, Madison Hamburg, Tracy Heather Strain, June Cross, Heidi Gronauer, and Julie Casper Roth, and another look at conversations with Stanley Nelson and Orlando von Einsiedel.
