How do you craft a powerful edit? When should you show instead of tell? This episode dives deep into the storytelling process—how filmmakers can shape narratives by stripping away excess and letting the audience discover meaning for themselves.
We explore the evolution of In the Blood, a documentary that started as a family business story but became a personal, intimate portrait of legacy, loss, and connection. From shifting perspectives in the edit to the fragility of life, this conversation is a masterclass in documentary storytelling.
▪️ How to find the true heart of a story in the edit
▪️ The difference between information vs. emotion in filmmaking
▪️ Lessons from David Mamet on why narration often weakens a scene
▪️ Why capturing less can sometimes mean more
