Show Notes
Oscar-nominated filmmaker Raoul Peck’s latest film, “Ernest Cole: Lost and Found”, chronicles the profound life and work of Ernest Cole, one of the first Black freelance photographers in South Africa, whose work revealed to the world the realities of Black life during apartheid, and later, its echoes in New York City and the American South. Raoul shares with Tiller how he sees the difference between convincing an audience versus telling a story (2:30) how he uses his personal background as a medium to tell each story with deep authenticity (2:30), finding the soul of this film (8:00), why he doesn’t call his art “journalism” (19:00), his process of creation and experimentation (26:30), the deep understanding he shares with his editor (32:00), and the suffocating constraints of the doc industry today (39:00).
