Podcast Conversation
And in our shared conversation, we talk with Brooklyn Filmmakers Collective alum, Nathan Fitch, whose documentary, Island Soldier, is making big waves on the documentary film circuit, including stops at Full Frame, Hot Docs, and this week, in DocNYC. Among topics discussed:
- How a stint in the Peace Corps led to his documentary filmmaking career
- The importance of becoming entrenched with a community that you’d like to film
- How one goes about applying to film with the military
- How the documentary life is not an easy one, but it’s a worthy one
