- Wish i’d listened to this 20 years ago!
I started making documentaries in 2005 and I really wish I’d listen lid to this podcast series back then.

You might expect an expert story teller to have good podcast content - and this is very good indeed. If you want to sharpen your filmmaking, documentary and story telling skills, this is a must subscribe podcast series. You will hear about techniques developed by masters and walk away with tangible advice you can apply immediately. I hope this podcast continues and grows. I don’t know about you, but getting this for free seems like I am stealing something!

United States2 years ago - Fascinating and Enlightening!
Who knew there was a process to storytelling? Nigel Levy figured it out and turns what many of us thought we knew, on its head. Very excited to be working with Nigel on his course now and tackling new projects in a completely different way - saving time and money on production but also REALLY telling any story in a far more compelling way.
Apple Podcasts5Lou BuddUnited Kingdom2 years ago - Doc Fix podcasts

So I’m always interested when practitioners explore their processes & experiences together. The dialogue between Nigel & his guests - as they learned from & listened to each other - was informative, integrated, open, & authentic. G... more
