Music and musicians can be great raw material for documentaries, as illustrated by classics such as Stop Making Sense and The Last Waltz. However, too often, they fall flat in less skilled hands. Four directors of films that transcend the music doc ghetto will speak about how they did it. Moderator: A.J. Schnack (Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns) Panelists: Jeff Feuerzeig (The Devil and Daniel Johnston), Jeff Zimbalist (Favela Rising), Banker White (The Refugee All Stars), and Rick Minnich (Homemade Hillbilly Jam)
