The framework
What we will not do.
The framework is self-imposed. It comes from 22 years in television and film, and it is the reason an institution can put its name on this work.
01
Nothing invented.
Every scene traces to a source: a census page, a deed, a letter, a photograph. Where the evidence ends, the film ends.
02
Everything labeled.
Every reconstructed frame is openly marked as a reconstruction. A viewer always knows what is archival and what is built.
03
Visual restraint.
No dramatized dialogue, no detail the record cannot support. The style leans on light and atmosphere instead of invented specifics.
04
Review before release.
Every film passes an ethical review checkpoint before delivery, and its methodology publishes alongside it.
