The Rise of the Documentary
According to the British Film Institute, the number of documentaries produced in the UK each year has risen from four in 2001, to 86 in 2015. This new wave of documentaries are more intriguing, more cinematic, and more commercially viable than ever. 16% of the Cannes film market is now documentaries. 

More Real, More Dramatic, More Cinematic
The days of talking head lectures over slow panning shots of b-roll and stills are gone. The new wave of documentaries are not only picking engaging subjects, they’re using cinematic techniques and storytelling structure to engage the viewer. They're presenting the world in a raw, real, and yet poetic manner which has proven to be very popular with the public.
