How to Craft Emotional Impact in Documentary Film – The Story of MOLA

In this episode of Filmmaker Mixer, we sit down with award-winning editor James Haygood (Fight Club, The Game) and producer Katherine LeBlond (Always Jane, Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution) to discuss their breathtaking new documentary, MOLA: A Tibetan Tale of Love and Loss. The film, which is set to have its U.S. Premiere at SXSW, tells the powerful true story of a Tibetan woman’s journey through love, sacrifice, and resilience against the backdrop of cultural and personal upheaval.

James and Katherine take us behind the scenes of crafting MOLA, from navigating the complexities of telling an intimate story set in Tibet to capturing the raw emotion of their subject’s life. 

Join us for an insightful conversation about the art of documentary filmmaking, storytelling through editing, and the impact of MOLA on audiences worldwide.
