RULE #2: A personal doc is not your personal therapy.
Imagine your film playing before a packed audience on a big screen. It's not the place for getting even with nasty ol' mom and dad, believe me. It's not for whining about your rotten childhood. It's not the vehicle for getting the attention you've desperately craved all your life.
Whether it's a personal doc or not, moviegoers want to be entertained, educated and, most of all, enthralled. They want to go along with you on your ride, not see you working through your issues. Spare us, and go see a good shrink. And save a ton of money in the process, too.
