For the last year, we’ve been planning a book and workshop series around creative nonfiction. Find out how and why we adopted this term to describe a distinct genre of documentary films on this creative nonfiction bonus episode.

Film Adventurer Members get a weekly bonus podcast episode with their subscription. We released this bonus episode in June. To receive more episodes like this and much more, please subscribe, for only $39.99 (Canadian) per year.
