The Definitive Guide to Documentary Filmmaking is now live
This has been a long time coming.
For a couple of years now, I’ve had this idea sitting in the background—something I kept telling myself I’d do “when there’s time.” A course that puts everything I’ve learned over the past decade into one place. A resource for filmmakers who are serious about telling meaningful, well-crafted stories.
Well, I finally carved out the time. And The Definitive Guide to Documentary Filmmaking is now live.
This isn’t theory. It’s built from real projects, filming in over 60 countries, working in war zones, jungles, megacities, and mountain villages. It’s full of lessons I learned the hard way and the systems I now rely on every time I make a film.
Inside the course, you’ll find step-by-step guidance through:
Developing your idea
Researching and writing
Pitching and fundraising
Pre-production workflows
Interview and camera techniques
Editing and post
Distribution strategies
And more
Includes All My Templates
I’m also including the complete toolkit I use myself: downloadable templates for treatments, paper edits, interview releases, itineraries, outlines, and production trackers. These are the actual documents I use on my films, now available for you to adapt and build on.
