The Future of the Genre: AI, Unions, and Virtual Production
As we look forward, the entertainment industry documentary is poised to become even more vital. The industry is currently grappling with three existential crises, all of which are perfect documentary subjects: Documentary Title: The Golden Cage: Power & Politics
- Artificial Intelligence: Filmmakers are already shopping pitches for documentaries about the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, specifically focusing on the clause regarding AI replacing background actors and writers. These docs will serve as a time capsule of labor's fight against automation.
- The Streaming Bubble Burst: We are beginning to see documentaries about the "streaming wars"—the insane spending of 2018-2022 that led to the current culling of titles from platforms for tax write-offs. The story of Final Space or Infinity Train being erased for tax benefits is a horror story that belongs on screen.
- The Metaverse & New Tech: Documentaries focusing on virtual production (the use of massive LED walls like in The Mandalorian) are becoming technical marvels in their own right, teaching traditional film students how the craft is evolving.
A. Access Journalism vs. "PR Laundering"
A critical debate within the industry is the cost of access. Many celebrity documentaries (e.g., recent efforts surrounding major pop stars) are produced with the full cooperation of the subject. Critics argue these act as "PR laundering"—long-form advertisements rather than objective explorations. Conversely, unauthorized docs face legal threats and lack archival footage.
