Saturation

Ross Girard explains how documentary networks get their stories. Sometimes networks bring stories to explore. Other times, development teams pitch ideas. Ownership depends on the deal: if a network finances it, they usually own it as work for hire. If you independently finance, ownership depends on your agreement. You might retain full ownership, share it, or license distribution rights.

Shane Hurlbut, ASC joins Jens Jacob for a deep conversation about the evolution of filmmaking, from $200M studio blockbusters to the DSLR revolution that democratized the industry, and now the AI era.

Shane's career spans Terminator Salvation, Drumline, Need for Speed, Act of Valor (the first major theatrical release shot on a Canon 5D), which played in over 9,000 theaters.

He also talks about co-founding Filmmakers Academy with his wife Lydia, his philosophy that every choice creates a ripple effect, and why he believes AI will enhance (not replace) human creativity.
