Tiny Documentary

Every little life has a story worth telling.

Tiny Documentary is a camera-shaped studio with a lens entrance and a shutter-side window, with a film camera, a stage microphone and a little manuscript.

Resident Doc, the curious interviewer

The little story

Tiny Documentary

Tiny Documentary is a small studio with a video camera on a tripod, a microphone on a wooden stand and a stack of paper for notes. It is the kind of room where the best interviews begin, because a quiet room makes people want to talk.

Doc is the curious interviewer, who likes to ask one good question and then wait. The answer can take three hours and is often unexpectedly moving. Doc believes every small life has a story worth a seat in the room.

Come in and sit down. Tiny Documentary is set up for portraits, interviews and slow stories about the people and places you care about. Bring one good question and let the afternoon do its work.
