Canadian filmmaker, Jennifer Abbott discusses her process for writing and shaping story in documentary filmmaking. What does the 'writing' process look like in the development, production and post-production phases of the process. Known primarily for making essay films such as The Magnitude of All Things, The Corporation and The New Corporation, Jennifer will focus mainly on this type of documentary form.
