This week I interview Jacob Smith, who, along with his co-producers, John D. Erickson and Kathryn Goldman, made the wonderful feature documentary Waking the Sleeping Giant: The Making of a Political Revolution. Jacob reveals a tremendous amount about the filmmaking process which I know will help you on your filmmaking journey.
Find out all about Jacob and what he’s up to on his website:
