Anthropologist? Please explain. Why do you need an anthropologist and not just a documentary film maker like everyone else? Is there a guy running around in a pith helmet studying you in your natural habitat? Is he reading Stephen J. Gould and picking fleas off you? I seriously am at the end of my rope with all this anthropologist stuff here.
Gia, As you may know, there are four fields of anthropology. For example, Gould was a biologist that specialized in evolutionary anthropology. That's different than from what this guy is doing. The anthropologist doing the documentary is actually trained in and hold degrees in several branches of anthropology, in addition training in two other graduate fields. Before doing this documentary, he worked in the field and taught forensic and cultural/visual anthropology. Any person can call himself a documentary film maker. They don't need training, need to hold degrees, or have any experience. A film maker may not have any legitimate backing. The anthropologist has legitimate backing from several universities. For example, if someone posts here about you and refers to or speaks about you as the photographer, is that wrong, whether someone posts on here or some other board? And same goes for any other profession. He's an anthropologist, so people refer to him as the anthropologist. Make sense? Also, having him doing the documentary will give the industry credibility to the outside world. He does not judge and has an incredible ability to convey porners as normal human beings.
