Martha Shane (After Tiller) Talks with Tracy Droz Tragos (Rich Hill) for The Talkhouse Film Podcast

A fascinating conversation between the two female documentary directors about the making of this year's Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner.

Recorded at a live event at DCTV, the latest episode of the Talkhouse Film podcast features Tracy Droz Tragos, one of the directors of Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning documentary Rich Hill (now on general release), in conversation with After Tiller's Martha Shane. The two talk about the more personal aspects of non-fiction filmmaking, such as the art of co-directing (with your cousin!), building trust with subjects and how relationships shift after production has ended.
