How to Create a Short Documentary
Work is nearly complete designing the Eco Doco: Mastering Short Documentary Making online course, a practical, beginner friendly guide that walks you through the four stages of documentary making: Preproduction, Production, Postproduction and Promotion. It includes templates, exercises and videos.
The eBook: ECO DOCO: The Companion Guide to Short Documentary Filmmaking is coming together as a portable companion to the online guide, with quizzes, a glossary and an answer key.
The podcast: Something Comes From Nothing: A pocket guide to making short documentaries, one listen at a time will be a series of easy-listening episodes, created as a listening break to spark new ideas and fresh directions. You can find it on SoundCloud.
