Today's guest is acclaimed filmmaker Lynne Sachs. Her debut documentary feature film, INVESTIGATION OF A FLAME, is about the nine Vietnam War protesters, who in 1968, walked into a Catonsville, Maryland draft board office, grabbed hundreds of selective service records and burned them with homemade napalm. Learn how she tracked down the subjects and won their trust, why it can be important to capture visuals and audio separately, how Final Cut Pro allowed her to edit while raising a family, and helpful tips to secure a film grant. This is a must-listen episode for documentary filmmakers and fans. Lynne Sachs' recent film, Film About A Father Who, was an official selection at the Slamdance Film Festival in 2020.
