Documentary First is an award-winning documentary production company and weekly filmmaker podcast hosted by Christian Taylor.
Every week, we publish in-depth conversations with documentary filmmakers behind projects for HBO, Netflix, PBS, and independent film. Our companion series, The Deep Dive, unpacks the craft, business, and creative lessons behind each interview. With 270+ episodes and growing, Documentary First has become a go-to resource for working and aspiring documentarians worldwide.
Our films include The Girl Who Wore Freedom, Grueling Glory, Heroes of Carentan (doc in post-production), and the upcoming series The Brave Dutch (in development).
Documentary First is fiscally sponsored by Living Stories Ltd, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Tax-deductible donations support our film projects directly.
