Robert Drew

Robert Drew (1924, Toledo, OH, USA – 2014 Sharon, CT, USA) assembled a group of journalists and filmmakers – among them Richard Leacock, Gregory Shuker, D.A. Pennebaker, Albert Maysles, James Lipscomb, Hope Ryden, Mike Jackson, Anne Drew – developed editing techniques to allow stories to tell themselves through characters in action. Robert Drew expanded on his ideas by forming Drew Associates and producing films that have become known, along with Primary, as the foundation of cinéma vérité in America: On the Pole, Yanki No!, The Chair and Faces of November.
