Documentary Filmmaker (Sarah Potter)
Manage episode 403266253 series 3550257
In this episode we speak with Sarah Potter, documentary filmmaker and storyteller. I love films, so this interview was incredibly interesting to me, as I always wondered what the process of making a documentary actually looks like. Sarah does an amazing job telling us how documentary films are made, with storytelling at the heart of her filmmaking. She tells us how they center the story around interesting characters and communicate captivating stories through that character.
What also made this interview fascinating is learning that neither Sarah nor her colleagues had a background in filmmaking before getting into the industry. Sarah was a speech pathologist, the founder of her film company has a background in psychology, and others had backgrounds across a variety of industries. However, they all had one thing in common – a passion for storytelling. I think this is a perfect example that if you have a passion and drive, you can accomplish anything regardless of your “pedigree”. If you have that passion and drive, you can figure it out and achieve your dream vocation.
I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. Thanks so much!
