Making Movies - Notes on Independent Documentary Filmmaking
In researching and making this movie about fiddle music and Weiser, I have met several filmmakers whose documentaries about music related, festival related or other subjects may interest the audience for my film. Some of these independent filmmakers are very accomplished, while others perhaps like me, are first-timers.
Beginning in 2008, this Making Movies page will feature several independent documentary filmmakers and their films. While the exact format remains to be determined, it is my goal to ask the filmmakers to address the 'who, what, when, where, why and how' of their films. Having attended a number of documentary screenings followed by question and answer sessions with the director, producer or editor, I anticipate each filmmaker will offer unique insights on their work.
Please return to Making Movies in 2008. In the meantime, please visit the Independent Documentary Filmmaking section of our Links page. If you are an independent documentary filmmaker whose work you feel may interest visitors to this site, or if you know of such a filmmaker, please e-mail us at makingmovies@weiserfilms.com.
Thanks for your interest in independent documentary filmmaking.
All the best,
