Have you ever been afraid to do something you knew was the right thing to do?

Today is the inaugural episode of the “Making a Documentary” mini-series, wherein we document, well, the making of a documentary. Specifically, my first feature-length documentary. Except, I’m not the director. My wife Tasra is (pronounced TOZ-ra).

On this episode, Tasra shares the deeply personal story that motivated her to take up the mantle of “filmmaker” and create “Invisible Illness”, a documentary about what it’s like living with an illness (or illnesses) where you look fine on the outside, but inside you’re suffering. She shares why she felt this story had to be told, why it has to be told as a film, and why she is reluctantly considering herself a filmmaker.
