NONFICTION & DOCUMENTARY
When you’re chronicling any kind of true story — a person’s life, a complex social issue, a little-known culture or community — the breadth of information and material can be overwhelming. Even though documentaries aren’t typically associated with things like story design, act structure, and scripts, nonfiction storytellers know (or quickly find out) that these building blocks are as essential to their projects as they are to works of fiction.
