Book description
This Much Is True
is a landmark volume about the art of directing documentaries, with
contributions from some of the most eminent documentary filmmakers
working today, including Nick Broomfield, Andrew Jarecki, Kim
Longinotto, Kevin Macdonald, James Marsh and Albert Maysles.
Each chapter focuses on a particular element of the filmmaking process,
and takes the form of an in-depth and highly personal conversation,
presented in unvarnished documentary form. Taken as a whole, the book
represents a uniquely candid and well-informed account of what it takes
and what it means to make documentaries. James Quinn

written a PhD in philosophy and taught at university level, and is
currently working on a feature documentary for theatrical release.
