Ep 13 - Documentary Writing and Mr. Jane and Finch feat. Alison Duke

What does it mean to write for documentaries? Alison Duke of Oya Media Group (oyamediagroup.com) takes us through her experience co-writing the television documentary Mr. Jane and Finch — a process that netted her the Canadian Screen Award for Best Documentary Writing.

We went in-depth into her commitment to honoring the truth of her subjects, the challenges of structuring a story as it unfolds in front of you, and some of the ethical quandaries that come with non-fiction filmmaking.
