Documentary v. Narrative Filmmaking

For the past year, I have been doing both documentaries and narrative films. I find both are really satisfying and enjoyable. Where documentaries fulfill a side of me that enjoys true stories and bringing public awareness to a topic, narrative allows me to become wrapped up in the lives of fictional characters and introduce them to the world.

How cool is that? To be able to express yourself in two very different ways. I feel so lucky to be doing what I'm doing. Granted it took a lot of hard work and sacrifice but it's so worth it.

So when it comes down to documentaries v. narrative, why choose? Do both!
