A Last Dance Documentary Roundtable with Filmmakers Steve James and Bill & Turner Ross
The Last Dance Aftershow - A podcast by Sam Fragoso and David Villar
Categories:
As we enter the home-stretch of The Last Dance, we called on some of our favorite working documentarians: Steve James (Hoop Dreams, The Interrupters) and Bill & Turner Ross (Contemporary Color, Western). Each devout basketball fans, the three filmmakers share how their own personal histories entwine with Michael Jordan and the Bulls. Plus– we discuss Jordan's complicated relationship with Chicago, the nuts and bolts of making a modern documentary, the power struggle between subject and filmmaker, and the future of the format, especially in the age of the Netflix multi-episode docuseries.
