"Everything you need to know to make a documentary: from preliminary research on topics and audiences, to developing a business plan and securing funding, to working with a production team and interviewees, to post-production, marketing, and distribution. This down-to-earth guide is truly an all-access pass to what goes on behind the camera"--, Provided by publisher
