The workshop is an intensive, five-day event covering the gamut of character-driven documentary production from story conception to editing. A pioneer in his field, Gentile brings three decades of experience to instruct beginners as well as seasoned professionals on this burgeoning genre of visual storytelling.
Past students have explored topics as far ranging as a youth court where at risk teens help each other stay out of jail, to co-parenting issues inside a same sex marriage, to the age old crafts of paper making, tattooing, and fencing.” See videos from the workshop at the following links:
