Paul Stoller, author of Adventures in Blogging: Public Anthropology and Popular Media 'Ethnographic documentary is long overdue for a contemporary guide to the field that takes into account the changes since the 1997 publication of Cross-Cultural Filmmaking by Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Ilise Barbash. This thoughtful and beautifully produced book provides a comprehensive overview that is both philosophical and practical, addressing questions that range from ethics and collaboration to shooting in field settings to digital technology, to foundational questions about the value of such work. The author is a talented and accomplished anthropologist and filmmaker, who even provides the ten commandments (for observational film!) to inspire ethnographic filmmakers - whether aspiring or accomplished - to reach the promised land of field-based documentary work, from pre-production to distribution.'
