“I think all of us, looking back on our careers and our lives, there'll probably be a "road not taken" that we'll regret and mourn.

“It has a lot to do with just sort of trust in the relationship that builds between the filmmaker and the subject. There are some people who will never be relaxed in front of a camera, and in some ways that's my failing as a filmmaker to not put them at ease.

“There is so much investment in it of people's labor time that it will never make money. But there are other documentaries that you might make that are sort of on assignment for television that turn around in three to six months. Then the margin can be much be better for you because you're not spending three-and-a-half years on it. So I think if you're doing documentary films, that's sort of the way to look at it.” PeopleIfsThinkingWayYearsLooksMightFilmTurnsThreeHalfTelevisionMonthsSixLaborInvestmentSpendingMaking MoneyDocumentariesSix MonthsMarginsAssignmentsHalf A YearDocumentary Films Author:Liz Garbus
