On February 2, DGA members enjoyed the 2018 edition of the Meet the Nominees: Documentary event in the Guild’s Los Angeles Theater. The evening opened with a welcome DGA Documentary Awards Committee Co-Chairs James Moll and Lucy Walker. Then 2017 Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Documentary Award nominees: Bryan Fogel (Icarus), Matthew Heineman (City of Ghosts), Steve James (Abacus: Small Enough to Jail) and Lynn Novick (The Vietnam War) joined Moll and Walker on the stage to discuss the making of their films, illustrated by clips from each.
