A Night At The Emmys - 2020

It's always good to see Stern & Wild people nominated for an Emmy…

So big congratulations to Chris Martin who has *two* nominations this year, Best Documentary and Outstanding Current Affairs Documentary, for his authored film Under The Wire. It deals with journalist Marie Colvin’s last days in Homs, and her colleague Paul Conroy’s bare escape from the besieged city.

Camilla Hall produced Netflix audience winner Circus Of Books, which has been nominated in the Emmy 2020 Outstanding Writing For A Non-Fiction Programme category. Camilla has just directed an investigative Storyville with Rogan Productions which is now in the last weeks of post-production.

Think your doc production is dead in the water? If so, you’re not thinking hard enough

Documentary production doesn’t have to stop because of social isolation. The new restrictions on travel and working in teams have made filming actuality all but impossible, but that is no reason to freeze your production or commission. Instead, it’s time to evolve the language of documentary away from actuality and develop further means of telling a credible, verifiable story. It is time to find out just how creative your Creatives can be. If you think that Covid-19 is creating a crisis of logistics you’re missing the point, it’s a crisis of the imagination.
