Documentary Subjects




I thought my sister sarah would be an interesting doc subject. She was homeschooled most her life, and when she went to school the first time it was when she was a freshman in high school. She has a lot of funny memories and experiences through out her schooling experience. She mostly would be successful as a doc subject because she is an entertaining person and would be interesting on film. 



I thought my brother-in-law Nick Hoff would make an interesting doc subject. He graduated with a business degree from IU, but now is a comedian. He's funny and comfortable performing so that always is helpful when interviewing someone. 



Kelly Graff (who is someone I do not know personally, but lives in the local area)  is an executive chef at a small quaint restaurant in Goshen, Indiana called Kelly Jae's. What makes her an interesting documentary subject is the path she has taken for her one of a kind restaurant in northern Indiana. She incorporates farm-to-table dining which means she only uses the freshest ingredients. This is interesting because mostly when people think of midwest restaurants "greasy spoon" places probably pops into their head, and the idea of using frozen food. Instead, Graff takes advantage of the abundant farms in the areas and uses to create a great dining experience. She has widely traveled the world which she incorporates into her menu at Kelly Jae's in Goshen.

  1. Kelly Graff would obviously make a good subject and so too would following a comedian. Your sister needs a better angle. It would be better to look at the idea of homeschooling as a doc with your sister as one of many subjects.
