Michael Del Monte is a Canadian documentary filmmaker and co-founder of AOD (The Art of Documentary). He received his B.A. in Philosophy from the University of Western Ontario and he completed his Master’s in Theology at the University of Toronto. Michael tells stories of forgotten individuals. He has completed four feature documentaries and his work has won awards at the world’s largest documentary festivals. His docs have been acquired by the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime, ESPN, Sundance Now, VICE, CBC and more.
Mark Bone, an award-winning director from Toronto, Canada, draws inspiration from his experiences as an aid worker during the Darfur war. His passion for documentary filmmaking led to acclaimed works like "58 HOURS," a CNN FILMS documentary recounting Jessica McClure's rescue. Mark's portfolio includes award-winning films like "Battleground" and ASD BAND: The Movie, recognized by platforms like Vimeo and HotDocs. With a global reach, he has directed commercials for brands such as Mercedes Benz, Nike, BMW, and Nikon across 35 countries.

yes please, need more pods!
Definitely 👍🏻
This is well done Mark. Podcasts can be a good strategy, but they take some time to really gain traction. I co-founded a VC software accelerator and produce our podcast ("Startup Stories from the Treehouse" - my co-founder hosts). It really takes a full season of 6-10 episodes to prove out. If you can leverage your following on RUclips to drive traffic you could get to an audience there faster. But you'll definitely want to use something like Simplecasts to publish to Spotify/Apple - that's where you long-term audience growth will be for this type of content. Thanks for all your work on content here - delivering this level of quality consistently is challenging....
Yep, more!
Yes please! I LOVED this conversation.
MARK BONE IS MY UNCLE!!!!
I love my nephew
Seems like it's a filmmaking family, awesome!!
The fast food metaphor is the perfect explanation. Whoever came up with that needs some sort of award.
i’m in feedback hours. michael is the king of metaphors.
I love this, really learnt alot from you and Michael. Part of the 1% from Nigeria😃
Awesome pod, watching from Brighton England :)
Nice. Just got perfect cut.
This is such a wonderful discussion that highlights that Filmmaking is more than a vocation... it is a lifestyle, and it reflects who you are and who you aspire to be. I'm truly grateful for AOD and the insights you both share so authentically.
please do more episodes, i love this
I listened to all of it and loved it! It would have been great to have it in a audio only form
CONGRATULATIONS!! love your work! enjoyed the entire podcast. looking forward to the next one.
This was an excellent exploration of filmmaking and the thought process. Operations management with an arts focus is a unique cross section of experience. If you are serious in this need let us know. I feel pretty sure that you will find people with this experience in your audience.
I would’ve paid good money just to hear this conversation. Only halfway through and man I’m gunna have to listen again. So good and helpful in so many ways
I love the business partnership / relationship you two have, and hearing how you discuss it.
I love your more philosophical conversations.
I love the community you’ve built, the team you’ve built (Kim, Landan, Lewis!), and how good you both are at teaching more generally.
I just love all of this. Thank you for being awesome.
Wow, for a first episode I heard a lot of what I needed to hear
AOD is one of the best things I've ever discovered on the internet as a filmmaker.
Thanks brother! Glad to have you in the community
I think I could listen to you both talk shop all day.
Just want to say this was a great listen!
It felt more like physiotherapy session for filmmakers rather than just a podcast. :) Thank you guys for such valuable thoughts and information!
Great podcast. Make this a regular thing please. Loved the pacing, the tone and the content so much value 👏👏 Thanks M&M
no this is awesome. this was fun to listen to as I clean up the studio lol, but having michael in a non-zoom call chat, was a good change up, feels like we don't hear from him enough! and as always, love hearing marky mark
This Michael Del Monte is a very interesting character I’d like to know more about him
Join AOD and you’ll get to know him better than anyone!
LOVED THIS!! Thank you both so much for doing what you're doing!
Wow. This is just chalked full of so many key learning outcomes and actionable takeaways. Thank you guys for continually pouring into the community like this. 🙏🏽
Wow, impact production really hit home for me. I love learning new vocab in the industry that helps me pinpoint what it is that I'm going for! This podcast was absolutely satisfying and beyond helpful. Thank you!
Thank you, you two! This was incredibly beneficial, insightful. I joined AOD last week, and it’s helpful to get to know you guys when we can as members.
Hopefully you’ll do another episode soon!
That football analogy is GOLD. I have some film veteran friends and I am getting to see this real life.
This is helpful. An open and honest discussion about film making. Perhaps more helpful than you think, even? I’m one of the 1% who listenen in until the end. I am indeed looking forward to another video podcast. Soo much to learn and dive into.
Stumbled across you guys a few weeks ago and have been consuming everything. Just heard the best quote from Michael. I want to be a good father a good husband and a good filmmaker. I love the simplicity and clarity of that.
''Do something more than 8 shots while you're in Bali'' That will be my mantra!
How has this not had more views? I was glued to this conversation.
🎉❤ Congrats of you expanding your foot print 👊
Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing this kind of content!
it helps a lot
1% thank you for this podcast
Michael Del Monte, I know you struggled in school, but that’s no reason to trot out trite, bigoted stereotypes like that there are “no atheists in a foxhole”.
If you can’t get your point across without denying the convictions and humanity of people that don’t believe the same as you, then perhaps you should talk less.
Lol. The irony
Michael is an exceptional director; I appreciate his attentive listening and valuable advice. Missing out on their Zoom workshop would be a loss. Mark, the same genuine person you see on RUclips, possesses a remarkable heart. Not everyone is blessed with the skillset of Mark Bone 🫶🏽
Awesome
All of the courses look amazing. I am almost tempted to purchase all of them but was wondering are there additional discount codes in addition to the early bird sale? Also, I am interested in having the opportunity to meet for office hours which will available in module 2, but I have not completed module 1. I definitely know I want to buy Module 1 and the Cinematic Eye, but am wondering if it is premature to buy Advanced Doc.
The additional sales are when you bundle. You can save $1300+ off the regular price when you bundle them together. You’ll see in the shopping cart how much you’re saving with each additional product
And it’s never too early to jump into the advanced if you’re looking for feedback. This is great at any stage. There will be questions you get answered in the advanced course (module 2) about your directing that will help you in tandem with documentary foundations (module 1)
