Life Story Documentary Production

I’m ready to preserve my journey on film and need a seasoned documentary filmmaker who can take the lead from concept through final editing The project will be centered entirely on me. It is an autobiographical documentary narrative where I will be the sole featured subject sharing my personal journey, challenges, and triumph." All interviews must be captured in a controlled studio setting, so I’m looking for someone comfortable designing an inviting set, handling multi-camera coverage, professional lighting, and clean audio within that environment. Here’s what I’m hoping you’ll bring to the table: • Pre-production guidance—develop a question list, create a shoot schedule, and help structure the overall storyline so every interview flows naturally. • Full production management— direct on-camera interview sessions with me, operate cameras, and oversee lighting and sound while maintaining a professional, comfortable environment. • Post-production expertise—assemble the footage into a compelling arc, add lower thirds, archival photos or clips I provide, craft a tasteful score, colour-grade, and mix audio so the final piece feels broadcast-quality. Final deliverables will include: 1. A polished documentary film (HD or 4K master plus web-ready file). 2. Separate high-quality audio stems and project files for future use. 3. A short trailer or teaser (30–60 sec) drawn from the finished edit. If you have a portfolio featuring interview-driven documentaries shot in studios, and you’re confident guiding non-professional speakers on camera, I’d love to see your work and discuss timelines. Filming must take place in person in a studio in Buffalo, NY.
