How many times have you been approached by a friend or family member with another “great idea for a documentary”, when they find out that you’re a doc filmmaker? Well, if you’re anything like Miami doc filmmaker, Billy Corben – director behind such docs as Cocaine Cowboys, ESPN 30 for 30’s The U, and now his latest, Screwball – it’s practically an everyday experience. Which is why he’s come up with a great three step for sussing out the viability of said great idea for a doc.

Topics Discussed

  • how screenwriting classes were the best filmmaking classes for all aspects of filmmaking, including editing, shooting, and directing
  • Billy Corben’s three-step process called R.A.S. for determining viability of a potential doc project
  • how a bogus and manipulative meeting with baseball great, Alex Rodriguez, resulted in their latest doc, Screwball
  • Billy Corben’s Hustling 101 for the independent doc filmmaker
  • the conscious decision to make movies and tell the unique stories of their hometown, Miami, Florida
