Storytelling in documentary film is a special talent, and in Liz Stubbs' Documentary Filmmakers Speak, admirers of the genre are treated to an inside look at what makes nonfiction film work. Terry Wilder deftly narrates interviews with a slew of documentary film's greatest names, including Albert Maysles, Susan Froemke, Ken Burns, and Barbara Kopple. Wilder adopts a straightforward reading style for these illuminating interviews, allowing the words of the directors to speak for themselves. Covering the specifics of the director's lives as well as their thoughts on the art, commerce, and technique behind filmmaking, Documentary Filmmakers Speak has plenty to teach novice filmmakers and fans alike.
