I learned long ago, especially when I worked with my fellow filmmakers on "Primary" that my contribution is in getting access to people, coming up with story ideas along with my brother, but primarily as the person behind the camera. I tried my hand at editing and I just- I'm of such a makeup that with each moment of editing I just can't make up my mind, and I'll come up with one idea then go to another and it becomes an endless procedure that never acts to complete anything. So I've never edited after that and I've relied on people who are extremely successful at that and I've been so pleased that people like Charlotte Zwerin have worked with us.
Albert Maysles (1926-2015) known for his important documentaries on Muhammad Ali, Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles, pioneered the documentary style known as Direct Cinema. He helped create techniques still widely used in modern documentary production, as well as many of the techniques used in reality TV.
