Active Participation

I don't know if there are recognised methods or models for documentary film making, but I am definitely running the "Active Participation" model. I've put in many hours in classrooms and after-school programs, and this past weekend I went to a service and community time at the Buddhist temple. I was thrilled by the warm welcome I received from all, as they invited my brother and I to eat their food and listen to their music, and invited us back for meditation on Sundays. It was quite the experience, and it's impossible to simply sit back and film.
