I think documentaries are very underrated as an art form. Maybe this is just my biased opinion as someone who mainly writes non-fiction, but I think the ability to frame and elevate real life just doesn’t get enough credit.

I feel like from an artistic standpoint there’s so much more public respect for making something believable out of thin air. I’m not saying that’s not impressive – I know how hard that is – but I feel like making people care about real life is also hard because we kinda feel like everything about the real world is mundane.
