053. How To Focus on Telling Your Story with Frank Fazzio22 Feb 202200:35:48

This week I chat with a talented documentary filmmaker, Frank Fazzio, about focusing on the right things in filmmaking and his various collaborative documentary projects. Listen to hear his unique approach to crowd sourced interviews.
 
Watch Frank's documentary Unfiltered Through Their Eyes.

From Frank:

This film lets us see and hear global filmmakers and children worldwide and what is possible during challenging times of the pandemic. Global filmmakers joined together with me. The moment was right... During the pandemic lockdown, I developed the concept and idea, wrote, directed, and produced this, and we learned a lot together.

No one was talking about the children and how this impacted their world ... Once this seed was planted, I couldn't sleep thinking about it and realized I needed to make this film.
We believe It brought out a perspective that hadn't been heard or seen before.
