  • Ethics, Journalism, & Documentary Filmmaking (feat. Dave Wurtzel)
    Sep 12 2024

    In this episode, I’m really excited to share a conversation I had with Dave Wurtzel, an Emmy-award winning filmmaker from Connecticut. He works for the Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network as a visual journalist, crafting short and full-length documentaries. He also works in the film industry as a freelance DP. I found Dave’s perspective on storytelling really refreshing, since he comes at it not just as a creative but also as a journalist. If you’re involved with doc filmmaking at any level, I think you’re going to glean some valuable insights from what he has to say.
