The Mini documentary assignment had me make… a mini documentary. I wanted to be creative with this. I didn’t want a run-of-the-mill documentary. Thus, I decided to do one over a baby.

The Winnebago Man was skillfully put together by the production team. The storytelling of the story is perhaps the most impressive part about the film.
