The real battle is in choosing in the edit room. It's in how you contextualize information.

The way we as a world consume stories - and sometimes people - is a phenomenon that we're seeing much more of now.

Being nonconfrontational allows people to feel like they can say anything they want.

Everyone had so much to say.

I think that the key to any interview is allowing people to feel comfortable enough that they forget they're being interviewed.

It's hard any time people are sitting down and looking at you across a camera and saying, "I believe that you guys will tell my story faithfully." That's getting to the core principle of being a journalist or a documentarian where people trust you with their stories.

Of course, you can never really know if someone is fully revealing himself to you or not, so all we can go by is our own gut feelings.
