Jackson, the Dallas-based filmmaker and small business owner, has made a habit of turning the camera on tough questions. He is also impervious to the effects of either praise or criticism, so his films are decidedly absent the audience preference gene.As an independent documentarian, Jackson is a subject matter expert when it comes to showing his audiences how America's social constructs sausage is made… and he's not afraid of slaughtering a few sacred cows in the process. His film work isn't just about looking back at history and stating the obvious. They're about exposing the little-known connective tissue between yesterday's ill-gotten lessons and today's sobering realities, chronicling how the past's echoes either sound the alarms to course correct or beckon a harkening back to this country's long-forgotten (or never discovered) buried treasure.Brandon and Daren join Chad for a great conversation on the feux history we're all familiar with and the truth that will be sure to trigger some cognitive dissonance.

There's no place quite like “P-Town,” the remarkable world of wonder created by Patrice Jetter, the star of Peabody award-winning director Ted Passon's (“Philly D.A.”) enchanting and heavy hitting documentary “Patrice: The Movie.” Over the last 20 years, Patrice's scale model town has become a source of endless fantasy and fun, but also an escape from the “real” world, which, all too often, has put up obstacles for people with disabilities like Patrice and her romantic partner Garry. Ted joins Ken on “Top Docs” to discuss how he came to collaborate with his friend Patrice on this remarkable cinematic journey. The film weaves present tense moments with Patrice, Garry and their friends with scripted scenes from Patrice's life featuring adult Patrice as the main actor and a cast of children playing the other roles. It is a thoroughly original approach that recreates the traumas from Patrice's past while also showing how she has managed to endure and overcome. When the couple and their friends take on the long-standing law that has enshrined a deeply unfair marriage penalty for people who receive disability benefits, this becomes a challenge on a much bigger scale. “Patrice: The Movie” is available for streaming on Hulu. The film is nominated for the Primetime Emmy for Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking. Follow: @tedpasson on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and X “Top Docs” is now on YouTube!

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.What drives someone to pick up a camera and document untold Caribbean history with no formal training? For Richard Vaughn, it was a simple realization: the political stories that shaped the modern Caribbean were either missing from film archives or told through a heavily biased lens. Vaughn takes us on his remarkable journey from curious Jamaican-American to award-winning documentary filmmaker. With us, he describes what would become "The Love Trilogy" – three powerful documentaries examining pivotal Caribbean political figures: Michael Manley of Jamaica, the Grenada Revolution, and Cheddi Jagan of Guyana. The trilogy's name emerged organically from Manley's own words about his political movement: "The word is love."The conversation weaves together reflections on Caribbean self-determination, the connection between political movements and cultural expressions like reggae music, and practical advice for aspiring documentarians. Vaughn's simple guidance resonates beyond filmmaking: identify what needs preserving in your community's history, start with whatever resources you have, and persist despite obstacles. Listen now to discover how documentary film serves as both historical preservation and a tool for balanced understanding of the Caribbean's complex political landscape. What stories in your community deserve similar documentation?Richard Vaughan born in New York to Jamaican immigrants in 1980. Driven by a passion for his culture and determination to educate and tell stores that history often forgets. Winner of the Madrid International Filmmaker Festival 2017 for Best Editing of a Documentary and the 2017 Van Gogh Award: Prodigy Auteur at the 2017 Amsterdam Film Festival for his second documentary Rolling Along: An Inline Movement. Previous credits include The Word is Love: Jamaica's Michael Manley (2012), Rolling Along: An Inline Movement (2017), Four Years of Love: The Grenada Revolution (2021), The Price of Love: Cheddi Jagan (2024).

Building relationships with experienced editors and filmmakers is invaluable for growth. Film school offers resources but isn't necessary for success in the industry. Starting in entry-level roles, like logger or assistant editor, can lead to an editing career. High-profile projects and recognition, like Emmy nominations, can open new doors. Creating a series involves tailoring the format, episode length, and story to the footage available. Presenting multiple perspectives lets the audience form their own opinions. Filming, writing, and editing at the same time allows for creative, flexible storytelling. Creative problem-solving makes scenes more engaging and visually dynamic. Negotiation skills and self-advocacy are crucial for an editor's success. Building positive relationships and being kind to others is essential in the editing world.
