We made four films of filmmakers making their films: Scorsese, Robert Duvall, Wes Anderson, Jane Campion. Took us to all parts of the world; Jane Campion- Australia. Scorsese- Cinecittà in Rome. And Robert Duvall- Argentina. And Wes Anderson- well, it was just New York City. But that's okay because now we're making another film about him making a film in Rome, so we're back to Rome again. It is true and very satisfying that this kind of work involves a good deal of travelling; places like North Korea I never would have gone to if it hadn't been for my filmmaking. China, all- many parts of Africa, South America. I want to go back to Brazil as soon as I can. England, Ireland, all over Western Europe, most of Eastern Europe- certainly Russia several times.
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.
