Documentary students and fans revel in stories about filmmakers
conquering extraordinary challenges trying to bring their work to
the screen. This book brings vividly to life the sometimes
humorous, sometimes excruciating - and always inspiring - stories
behind the making of some of the greatest documentaries of our
time. Almost all of the filmmakers and films profiled are
Oscar-nominated or Oscar-winning. "Documentary Case Studies" walks
readers through the fixes and mis-steps that today's documentary
leaders worked through at all stages to create their masterworks -
from development, fundraising and pre-production, through
production and then post. There are plenty of 'how to' documentary
filmmaking books in circulation, but this book will instead deploy
a personal, intimate and candid approach to unlocking the secrets
of the craft and the business, by meeting filmmakers who tackle
production challenges in the most resourceful and unconventional
ways. Filmmakers work across styles - from abject and gritty ("Taxi
To The Dark Side") to more playful and witty ("Spellbound").
