Description de l'ouvrage:
This book is a hands-on guide that explores the human dimensions of documentary production, offering concrete tools to strengthen collaboration at every stage from pre- production to distribution.
It reframes documentary production as a human system shaped by relationships, purpose, and ethical responsibility. Drawing on decades of international filmmaking and teaching, Tony Collins challenges craft-only approaches and
shows how trust, listening, and shared agency determine both creative outcomes and participant care.
Through concise case studies, visual frameworks, and field-tested protocols, the book offers practical guidance for navigating creative conflict, protecting dignity, and sustaining collaboration from development through post-production. Written for students, educators, and independent filmmakers, it provides tools that translate reflective theory into everyday practice.
