Rezensionen

'Shannon Walsh has written an incisive book, which acts as a brilliant primer on how to make and distribute a documentary while dealing with the all-important issue of being an ethical filmmaker. This is a great read and an important volume.'

-Marc Glassman, editor POV Magazine

'The explosion of documentary filmmaking has compelled makers to ask serious questions about ethical practices, representation, our relationship to our subjects and the like. Shannon Walsh's essential and thoughtful book is a much-needed look at the profound issues we are all facing as the documentary genre continues to evolve.'
