Director Derek Doneen wanted to bring “more fun” to the typically grim world of true crime in his newest docuseries, “Heist,” which recounts real-life heists from the perspectives of the criminals that pulled them off.
“I’ve just been feeling a little fatigued by the darkness by most of the fare in the true-crime universe,” Doneen told TheWrap. “I was craving something a little bit more fun.”
When his wife pointed out the lack of heist stories in the documentary space, Doneen made it his mission to transport the high-stakes robbery story to the documentary genre.
“What really interested me was, can I access to the people who pulled them off?” Doneen recounted.
Turns out he could.
In Season 1, the docuseries follows three heist plots: “Sex Magick Money Murder,” “The Money Plane” and “The Bourbon King,” with each story told in two parts for a total of six episodes. And...

YouTube Original documentary The Price of Free is now available free to watch in its entirety on content studio SoulPancake’s YouTube channel.
The release coincides with today’s #GivingTuesday, which was founded to offset the consumerism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. In honor of #GivingTuesday and The Price of Free, SoulPancake is raising $200,000 through YouTube’s charity feature, YouTube Giving, to support Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi and his team, whose collective mission to end child labor and trafficking is chronicled in the documentary.
And SoulPancake's fundraiser got a significant boost from two top YouTubers: “urban monk” and motivational speaker Jay Shetty, and psychologist Kati Morton, both of whom posted a video asking their viewers to contribute to the Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation.

YouTube has concluded that its investments in original programming should have a home on the free, ad-supported side — not just tucked behind a paywall.
In a shift in strategy, the Google-owned video platform said that starting next year it will move to make all of its new original programming available for free for anyone to watch. With the change, YouTube is moving toward more mainstream celebrity-driven and creator-based reality fare, while it will continue to greenlight scripted productions.
Until now, YouTube Originals have mainly been available on its YouTube Premium subscription service, although YouTube also has expanded the shows and movies it makes available on an ad-supported basis.
“As we look to 2019, we will continue to invest in scripted programming and shift to make our YouTube Originals ad supported to meet the growing demand of a more global fanbase,” a YouTube rep said in a statement. “This next phase...

Theatrical documentaries are a risky financial proposition at best. Few have major theatrical runs. However, 2018 saw several exceptional releases garner multimillion-dollar grosses domestically, demonstrating the genre’s cyclical ability to appeal and compete in a crowded field.
Five documentaries are among 2018’s top 100 box office grossers: Focus Features’ “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” ($22.6 million), Magnolia Pictures’ “Rbg” ($14 million), Neon’s “Three Identical Strangers” ($12.3 million), Briarcliff Entertainment’s “Fahrenheit 11/9” ($6.3 million) and the still-in-release “Free Solo” ($3.6 million) from National Geographic Documentary Film.
“In 1986, when I began in the business, I felt like I’d missed the parade,” says Davis Guggenheim (Oscar winner for “An Inconvenient Truth”), producer of the 2018 Sundance documentary Grand Jury prizewinner “The Price of Free,” which chronicles Indian Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi’s crusade against child labor and slavery.

Documentaries have a reputation for being, as Jerry Seinfeld put it at the 2007 Oscars, “incredibly depressing.” But not this year.
While 2018 has seen its share of high-profile political docus, including Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 11/9” and Errol Morris’ “American Dharma,” audiences seem to be in serious need of inspirational non-fiction films that don’t deal directly with politics. The evidence is the abnormally lofty documentary box office numbers over the summer.
At the height of popcorn season, when franchises were taking over multiplexes, Morgan Neville’s “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” about Fred Rogers — the minister and famed children’s TV host — drew in more than $22 million domestically in 14 weeks. That’s the highest amount a documentary has made theatrically since 2013.
“What Mr. Rogers did with his show was to help kids navigate the fear they felt and didn’t understand,” says Neville. “And that’s exactly what he does for adults too.

Featuring a bevy of films which first wowed audiences at Cannes, Turkey’s Antalya Film Festival wrapped on Friday Oct. 5 with a crowded awards ceremony and a closing screening of “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” held at the Glass Pyramid.
Jafar Panahi’s “Three Faces” scooped top honors in a bittersweet win; the famed Iranian new wave filmmaker is currently serving a 20-year filmmaking and travel ban following a dispute which culminated in charges of “Colluding with the intention to commit crimes against the country’s national security and propaganda against the Islamic Republic.”
Despite the ban the filmmaker’s output has not halted, and four films made since the ban’s implementation have screened at major festivals such as Cannes and Berlin. “Three Faces” follows three actresses from different generations at different stages of their careers and was described in a glowing Variety review as “empathetic and engaging.
