RECENT DOC STUDY CHEAT SHEET

The following chart is provided as an informal resource to help you discover and study some of the most notable docs of recent years (along with a few personal favorites). The selec-tions, categories, conclusions, and highlighted features are all subjective, which means reasonable fi lmmakers, professors, and fans may reasonably disagree with some of the classifi cations of the documentaries on it. Nevertheless, I hope you will fi nd it a unique and helpful tool to help you research and prepare to shoot your own project.
