COURSE REVIEWS
"Documentary Storytelling and Scriptwriting with Daniel Raim"

Rating

"REALLY love the course"
by Erica Nikolic, Documentary Filmmaker

"I REALLY love the course. Doing each assignment thoroughly thus far has helped me drill down and recall so many things that I'd forgotten about where I wanted to go and do with this film. It's also given me new things to think about that are bringing up new possibilities where I've been stuck. I think now I'll have the tools to finally finish my film."

"Super Useful"
by Naja Andersen

"Really well structured. I really liked the lessons on story structure and post-production. And all the reflections on central themes and ideas. I started this course some time ago when I first just starting working my first documentary project. I finished the parts on post later on and then returned and re-read / re-watched the first 4 lessons again which was super useful and gave me new insights on the actual central themes of the film I am doing."

"All that was promised (and more)..."
by Ana Nicolau, Filmmaker/Storyteller

"This very first lesson has already made me think about and realize a few things I hadn't really considered regarding my documentary. I can tell the course will be all that was promised (and then some more) and a truly precious help in getting my documentary made. Thank you, Faith and Daniel!"

"Very gracious"
by Dean Haycox, Documentary Filmmaker

"It's a great course and still can't believe the access Daniel is giving to filmmakers like myself, despite him being very busy and an awesome filmmaker, he is very gracious with his time which is amazing for an award winning doc filmmaker."

"Fascinating Class"
by Nitsan Tal

"Thank you for the fascinating class you created. I took continuing education classes on the subject of documentary film making at NYU and SVA and none of them came close to the quality of material you covered in just the first 3 chapters I took so far."

"A Guide and Collaborator"
by Tim Courlas

When I started the course I approached it like any other course, that is to say as a body of information to take in and apply down the road. Instead it has turned out to function as a guide and collaborator. It's as if the course is an actual person I engage in dialogue. I'm moving through the course much slower this way but the impact is exponentially greater."

"Super Helpful"
