Scenario

When documentary partners have different relationships to their subject

My collaborator and I are making a documentary together, and we've realized we have completely different relationships to our subject - I want to maintain critical distance while she's getting emotionally involved with the people we're filming. Our footage reflects this split and the film doesn't have a coherent perspective.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The camera cannot lie about the filmmakers' divided attention and intent.
