In June 2015 Documentary Drive came to life! Over the last 7 months, I’ve had the opportunity to interview three extraordinarily talented filmmakers and review many wonderful and diverse films. As the year comes to a close, here is a collection of some of Documentary Drive’s best features of 2015.
INTERVIEWS
- Director J.D. O’Brien shares insight on the making of “Out in the Cold,” a feature length documentary in which he and friend John Koepke spend a week without stable housing trying to better understand the issues and hopes of those who are homeless in Minneapolis.
- Debut director Joshua Tebeau discusses the making of “Picking Up the Pieces,” a short documentary on how Child Survivors of the Holocaust rebuild their lives after experiencing unimaginable atrocities.
