When co-directors discover they're making different films

Our documentary crew has been following this story for two years and now that we're in post-production, we can't agree on whose story we're actually telling. I see it as a meditation on place and memory, but my co-director keeps pushing for more personal narrative arc, and every editing session feels like we're making two different films.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Collaborators realize their fundamental conception of the work diverges in ways that cannot be resolved through compromise.
