<DIV>Since you asked about OS & Documentary Film Making, I sometimes think
about that and</DIV>
<DIV>what comes to my mind is "OS may help them to describe what they see and
the film can be made from their eyes" </DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#400080>Greetings from the very north east coast of the
USA!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#400080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#400080>As a newly minted documentary filmmaker and as an old
OS facilitator, I would like to combine the two and was wondering if anyone
has done this? I am producing a doc with a church and want to do OS with
them at the beginning to get their input on what they want it to be about and
have them tell me what they want filmed. Everyone one in the church
wsill be touch by this film and I would like to get their ideas. My feeling is
that OS would be excellent to use with a community and push the envelope in
filmmaking...making documentaries more collaborative. In essence, OS
would help them say what they want the film to say, in a compelling way,
and not what I think it should say. My filmmaking mentors keep telling
me that I need to maintain control with the decision making, especially in the
editing suite. They also say I am being naive. Since I teach
collaborative leadership seminars, I want to practice what I preach. Am
I being naive? Do you think this would work? Anybody have
experience with this? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#400080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#400080>Maybe I am behind the times and it has already being
done. If so, I would really appreciate other's experiences in this
area.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#400080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#400080>Thank you ever so much for any thoughts!</FONT></DIV>
