Whether following Jacques Cousteau into the sea or Julia Child into the kitchen, these filmmakers — including Jimmy Chin, Robert Greene, Jonas Poher Rasmussen and Betsy West — faced unique challenges in making their award-contending films.

Liz, Jacques Cousteau did not like the word documentary. He wanted his movies called “adventure films.” Are documentaries officially cool now?Documentaries are officially cool. I remember an early Sundance that I went to when people were writing, “Oh, the documentaries are the best thing in Sundance.” And then they kept saying that year after year and noticing that there was all this incredible work happening in this field, as if it were some revelation anew.

Ahmir, I’ve heard you call yourself a reluctant leader in your music career. Does that apply to you as a filmmaker as well?After completing this film, I’ve accepted that, OK, I have to be a leader. Oftentimes because I come from a culture that only celebrates youth, no one’s really rushing to become [of] the old wise age. There was a point where younger rappers started calling me OG, and I was just like, “Wait dog, I’m not even a G.

When the stakes are really high on a shoot and there’s potentially a lot of risk, that’s a really interesting place to be because you’re also responsible for the safety of your crew. And you’re really evaluating the different levels of risk. Establishing a baseline of everybody understanding what the risk threshold everybody’s willing to take before you go into the shoot is hugely important.

Jonas, you’re also dealing with a really vulnerable subject. Can you talk about the lead character inThe difference is that I knew my subject since I was 15 and had this curiosity about his past for more than 25 years. It was a very fragile situation because we were friends as well. There’s a huge responsibility for me as a filmmaker, but also as a friend, to tell his story right.
