What makes a true story more compelling than fiction? Documentary films have the ability to shine a light on real-life experiences, issues and people in unique and creative ways. They pull viewers in by showing a slice of life through a specific perspective.
In this episode of the Quantum Potential podcast, Provost C. Cybele Raver talks with Mariah Kramer, documentary filmmaker, senior lecturer and director of undergraduate studies in cinema and media arts, about how filmmakers take a spark of an idea and turn it into an engaging film. Kramer is also the adviser to Vanderbilt’s Point of VU Student Film Festival.
