So you want to make a documentary film...

from Cannabis Goldsmith - A Show About Art and Design · host TRIBE

Making a documentary film is one of the hardest things a human can do, but that won’t stop me! I explain the strategy behind my own film, from the vague original idea to a clear direction. I talk about all the different elements you have to consider when making a documentary, from music to sets, and how you can use free AI tools to create your own documentary film school and learn new techniques.I discuss using subject matter to drive story timing and story arcs, using synthesizers to generate audio atmosphere for a film, and distributing your documentary in a world where traditional theaters no longer play the role they once did.After listening to this episode, you'll get a sense of what is involved in documentary filmmaking.TRIBE – Custom Made Sterling Silver Trophy Belt Buckles and Jewelry – Product of Canada https://tribe.caSend an email to [email protected] to get on our mailing list or to order custom made jewelry products from TRIBE.The Cannabis Goldsmith is an Art & Design podcast produced by TRIBE COMMUNICATIONS INC. in Ontario, Upper Canada. © and ℗ 2026 Alex Dordevic TRIBE is a registered trademark
