Questions for a Filmmaker: Rick Minnich

Do you feel the documentary format enhanced the ability to showcase your subject matter in “Forgetting Dad”? If yes, how so?

On your blog, festival director Enrique Nicanor "thought it (Forgetting Dad) a terrific combination of American independent and European filmmaking." How would you compare current trends in each location and how do they differ? Do you feel your film is strengthened by a combination of the two?

Is the current climate in the filmmaking world receptive to new filmmakers? Does it differ for documentary filmmaking?

Have you noticed a trend in a more mainstream appreciation for documentary films? If yes, what is it about the genre that appeals to people right now?
