How DocuThesis Started.
DocuThesis was merely a dream in 2003 when I first created my first feature length documentary, Respect the Doc a documentary about documentarians and how they shift the culture. It was after interviewing one of the great masters of direct cinema, Albert Maysles that I understood the power of the documentary not just as intriguing entertainment but also as a tool of enlightenment, education and priceless access to information in the world as it visually happens. Seven years later, after working on documentary productions on nearly every continent from Armenia to New Zealand while saving up funds aboard working on yachts I realized 2010 was the perfect year to launch DocuThesis, a hybrid of documentary and graduate thesis to educate the world and create more awareness of the new knowledge and findings that are coming out of universities and disseminating its contents visually so everyone can digest it. The possibilities of the combinations of cinema and research are endless, from donor cultivation, community spport as well as financial support from the public and private sector.
And the rest is history
