The Doc Makers – Details, episodes & analysis

The Doc Makers is the podcast that pulls back the curtain on the world of documentary filmmaking, revealing what really goes on behind the scenes in TV and film.

Hosted by Andy Worboys, this show features in-depth, candid interviews with documentary filmmakers from across the industry - directors, producers, editors, cinematographers, development execs, composers, and the many other creative roles that bring powerful true stories to life.

For our first ever episode, I am delighted to welcome the brilliant Mandy Chang to The Doc Makers podcast.

Filmmaker, Exec Producer, former commissioner of the BBC’s Storyville strand and recently anointed CEO of the Documentary Film Council.

Today I’m going to be talking to the lovely BAFTA award winning and Emmy nominated cinematographer Tim Cragg.

Tim has set the standard for how a lot of modern documentaries look and feel and has been involved with some of the most successful (both critically and financially) documentaries in recent times. From Netflix successes such as The Deepest Breath and Beckham and HBO & SKY BAFTA nominated David Holmes: The boy who lived, to that rare beast, a documentary box office smash with Three identical Strangers, which we discuss in the show.
