The Full Uncut Interview with Matt Porwoll
In this full, uncut conversation, Darren Durlach sits down with cinematographer Matt Porwoll to break down the making of an emotionally complex documentary—from shooting vérité with a minimal footprint to capturing moments you only get one chance at.
They get into:
- Why less gear leads to better documentary scenes
- How to shoot intimate moments without disrupting them
- The balance between observation and orchestration
- What it takes to tell deeply human stories without being heavy-handed
This is the version we couldn’t release publicly—uncut, uninterrupted, and filled with the nuance working filmmakers actually care about.
