39 Minutes.
Available now on Westdoc, our new episode # 148 with renowned cinema vérité filmmakers Joan Churchill and Alan Barker spoke to us from the cozy living room of their Ojai, California home. We covered a wide range of subjects: improv; traditional camera gear vs iPhones; being “in the circle” when filming; the FBI, IRS, and HUAC; the historic value of cinema vérité; and their documentary workshops. The couple has four short films coming out about Oscar winning cinematographer Haskell Wexler. The conversation reveals a rich history of two people who have devoted their lives to filmmaking.
