is no stranger to shooting films for the Democratic National Convention, the “An Inconvenient Truth” helmer has worked on campaign biofilms as far back as 2008 with then-candidate Barack Obama.
My father is a documentary filmmaker who had made a film about Robert Kennedy from the 1968 convention. Kennedy had been assassinated months earlier and they asked him to make a film that played there, and I had a childhood memory of that. You can’t cover that much ground with the biofilms, so I just pulled together this wonderful team to help break down story ideas. The Amtrak one seemed wonderful. The interview with the conductor felt heartfelt and real because that’s who Joe is, he understands the life of someone who works hard every day to make a living.
Each of these films was seen as a reset to do a deep dive into this one moment and this one characteristic of him. That was the core and tonal objective – how do you be authentic and real? Let’s have other people speak to specific experiences of their time with Joe. So, whether it was Cindy McCain or the train conductor.The final video, “Joe Biden” aired right before he accepts the nomination.
