How I Made an Emotional HBO Style Documentary (Full BTS)

[@itschaistudio]

This felt like an emotional documentary on the making of an emotional documentary, brilliantly put together, and full of valuable advice

[@Alexzarfatifilms]

Thank you very much. Projects like these and doing behind the scenes like this is the whole reason why I started the channel in the first place. So it’s great to see positive feedback from content like this.

[@ianreels]

Honestly, this film/BTS surpassed my expectations. It's such a raw, empathetic and beautiful piece. Thank you for putting all this together and sharing it with us. You captured the tone and emotions of the film beautifully. This really inspired me to go out and shoot more docs I genuinely care about. "Giving these unsung heroes a voice" chills...

[@Alexzarfatifilms]

Thanks Ian, and we really poured our heart into this one and I’m so glad that people like you can see this and gain something from it. That’s exactly why I started this KZbin channel in the first place. I really wish you the best, my friend and if you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask me it’s also a passion of mine to help young and up-and-coming filmmakers achieve their dreams. 🙌🏻

[@ianreels]

Thanks man, that really means a lot to me, especially coming from someone I look up to in the realm of filmmaking. Can't wait to see more of what you make🍿🔥

Dude your content is amazing, I love how you walk through your thought process and why you make the decisions you do

[@artivism4068]

Yes brother Alex, this is great information and insight into making an emotional documentary and dealing with humans going through heartache and pain. You have to be ever so sensitive. Im so sick and tired of terrible interviewers.

[@f0t0b0y]

Can a 10 minute film be considered a documentary?

[@f0t0b0y]

I mean when wouldn’t you invest a little bit more time in developing the story? I’m not trolling, I’m truly curious. Is this more of a spec doc?
