🎥New Update on my new #documentary🔥
A lot happened this year!
I included a fantastic sound bite from David Simon. He talks about where they got the idea of the policeman’s wake in the bar in “The Wire”. Spoiler: it didn’t originate with the police in real life

More screenshots! I wanted to do this documentary to highlight the immense dedication journalists have in their quest for truth. From investigative teams to covering city elections, the public often doesn’t see the challenges journalists face just to hit publish.

🎥 One of the most fascinating parts of filming A Banner Year was capturing the incredible skill of reporters as they navigated conversations with sources on and off the record. Watching journalists persuade their sources to share their stories was insightful.

🎥I’m still amazed at the incredible access the journalists granted me for A Banner Year. 📰✨ This documentary will show how quintessential journalism comes together and emphasizes the critical importance of the truth.

I found some pictures of my dad, Lou Davis, reporting, including one with Walter Cronkite and one me! 📸 This is why my new documentary, A Banner Year, means so much. This project is deeply personal. My dad passed away in 2016 but his legacy lives on! 🎥📽️

In a week that has been a disaster for the #FirstAmendment, it's important to understand why it's so vital. My new #documentary in post production follows reporters at the Baltimore Banner. It is about how crucial and hard #journalism is. Here are a few screenshots.
