More Videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRetTs0Osqn0GMRwSsp0iSUlkZTbtH0LC Shooting documentary content alone is one of the most challenging — and rewarding — things you can do as a filmmaker. In this video, I take you behind the scenes of my solo documentary filmmaking process, from pre-production to filming, interviews, and gear choices, all the way to editing. With no crew and no backup, every decision matters — lighting, audio, camera movement, and story flow are all on your shoulders. Whether you're filming in remote locations, working with sensitive subjects, or just starting your doc journey with limited resources, this video will give you practical tips, real-world insight, and lessons learned from being a one-person crew in the field. You'll see how I plan shoots, stay mobile, build trust with interviewees, and manage the technical load while staying focused on the story. If you're a solo doc filmmaker — or want to become one — this is for you.
