Documentary Filmmaking 101

Submitted Dec 31, 2015

Technical level: Beginner

A candid discussion on my experience in creating a feature length documentary that is still in post-production.

Outline

Documentary films are an amazing way to shed light on a subject during moment in time. I am in the middle of post production in a documentary film that features me performing stand up comedy in India and highlighting the nascent Indian comedy scene. The movie is set to release mid 2016. The discussion would highlight several elements of film production, including crowdsourcing the funding, building the appropriate team, equipment, logistics and all elements of pre & post production, including distribution options. The process has revealed several pitfalls and wonderful surprises. I would like to share my learnings with the attendees of the Goa Project.

Requirements

Basic performance settup: stage & audio
