“Don’t Follow the Rules, Rewrite the Rules” — Sundance Director Alison O'Daniel on Slow Burn Filmmaking by Design, Weaving Captioning into Film Narrative

Recently we were honored to interview the director of Sundance film, The Tuba Thieves, Alison O’Daniel. She shares what it was like to create a film that focused primarily on sound oversight. The Tuba Thieves not only challenges the rules of filmmaking, but it revolutionizes the way we do captioning.
