Another except from the new book edited by Jessica Edwards of First Film Co. — Tell Me Something: Advice from Documentary Filmmakers. This week it’s DA Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus:
Work with someone you love. Love what you do. Listen to your partner, but stay true to the voice inside. It’s not always easy, but why easy? Take a deep breath. If you’re lucky, it’ll be the best adventure of your life. And you’ll share it with your love.
We got a dog. A big black dog.
Selected Filmography: Town Bloody Hall (1979), The War Room (1993), Kings of Pastry (2009)
