How we work

The subjects are dark. The work is careful.

TO: Anyone we interview, and anyone who watches

FROM: Delinquent Films

RE: How we do this

  1. 01

    Every claim is sourced.

    Every fact in a film traces back to a record, a study, or reporting we can point to.

  2. 02

    Both sides, and the evidence.

    We put the strongest counterargument on screen and let the evidence carry the point.

  3. 03

    Empathy for everyone in the story.

    Including the people who are easy to judge. Nobody gets flattened into a cartoon.

  4. 04

    No shock for its own sake.

    We show hard material plainly. We never sensationalize it.

If you sit down with us

You will know what the film is about before the camera rolls, and what you say will be represented fairly.

If we interview you

  • In person or remote.
  • You will know what the film is about before the camera rolls.
  • What you say will be represented fairly.
  • On a series, we interview for the whole story, so your interview may appear in more than one episode.
