Documentary Film Direction
Documentary cinema that listens before it films. Portraits of communities, trades, causes and real people.
Documentary work demands patience: first presence and trust, then the camera. That order is what lets people show themselves as they are.
Agua Santa, a documentary series directed by Jonathan Sarmiento, portrays a community and the faith that sustains it when everything else runs dry; it was selected at an international festival and is available on platforms.
The same method applies to institutional documentaries, social program records and long-form pieces for foundations.
Reality is not directed: it is accompanied.
