Personal Homework

Last night while doing some personal homework and research, my gut tingled when my mind lit upon the following thought: my personal "stamp" in storytelling is that of spotlighting interesting people. I'm going to make films, and write stories of people doing interesting things. The closest type of docs that I can think of are some of the docs of Errol Morris and Verner Herzog. Or, the book "The Orchid Thief" by Sudan Orlean. Like her, I want to pump my stories with my femine spirit. No one's ever seen documentaries like the ones that I am going to make. And if they don't sell, who gives a shit. I have a day job.
