Greetings from the very north east coast of the USA!
As a newly minted documentary filmmaker and as an old OS facilitator,
I would like to combine the two and was wondering if anyone has done
this? I am producing a doc with a church and want to do OS with them
at the beginning to get their input on what they want it to be about
and have them tell me what they want filmed. Everyone one in the
church wsill be touch by this film and I would like to get their
ideas. My feeling is that OS would be excellent to use with a
community and push the envelope in filmmaking...making documentaries
more collaborative. In essence, OS would help them say what they want
the film to say, in a compelling way, and not what I think it should
say. My filmmaking mentors keep telling me that I need to maintain
control with the decision making, especially in the editing suite.
They also say I am being naive. Since I teach collaborative
leadership seminars, I want to practice what I preach. Am I being
naive? Do you think this would work? Anybody have experience with
this?
Maybe I am behind the times and it has already being done. If so, I
would really appreciate other's experiences in this area.
Thank you ever so much for any thoughts!
