The latest trend in the nonfiction boom is more talent producing films about themselves — but could these top-dollar projects edge out ones with nonfamous subjects?
“A lot of people didn’t understand the impact of what would happen when documentaries had distribution at this scale,” says Bryn Mooser, the founder of prolific nonfiction film and television studio XTR. In recent years, Mooser, like many who work in nonfiction filmmaking, has watched the appetite for documentary content grow exponentially — and, amid the streaming wars, titles are now boasting eight-figure price tags.
As with any surge in a once-overlooked medium, trends emerge as the industry explores a newfound fervor. One of those trends is the uptick in talent-produced biographical documentaries. Though stars have been involved in depicting their lives onscreen for years, the nonfiction boom has sparked increased interest among talent in producing features about themselves.
