I am currently in the planning stages for the next documentary. Behind the scenes there are many things that need to happen before the cameras roll. The lessons I learned from the first documentary was that you can’t have enough research done. In order for me to tell these stories I need to find them, then select which to film and then go to that location. The costs to travel, crew costs, etc, etc is just the basics.So I find myself filling out applications for grants and reaching out to others to possibly help. The reality is documentary’s don’t make money. They are intended to tell a story and to inject facts where it’s needed when the main stream media leaves them out.
That is the current flurry of actions that I am trying to accomplish before I begin any filming. So that is what is happening behind the scenes.
