Daryl Granger discussed his documentary filmmaking approach and his latest project “Northern Venture,” which follows a week-long journey on a 508-foot lake freighter through the Great Lakes system. Daryl explained his cinema verité style of filming without pre-production, where he gains access to unique communities and industries by building trust with subjects and working as a one-man crew. He described the challenges and opportunities of filming on a working vessel, including the isolation of being on Lake Superior, the technical aspects of shipping operations, and the access he received to normally restricted areas like the Welland Canal control center. Daryl also shared details about his upcoming project “Walk Among My Shoes,” which features residents of Norfolk County, including a television presenter, politician, and funeral home owner, scheduled for release in spring.
