	Description:		It used to be that making documentary films meant taking a vow of poverty (and obscurity). The streaming revolution changed that. Award-winning filmmaker R.J. Cutler talks to Stephen Dubner about capturing Billie Eilish’s musical genius and Martha Stewart’s vulnerability — and why he really, really, really needs to make a film about the New York Mets. SOURCES: R.J. Cutler, filmmaker. RESOURCES: Fight for Glory, documentary (2025). Martha, documentary (2024). "Reality Check: The Boom—or Glut—in Streaming Documentaries Has Sparked a Reckoning Among Filmmakers and Their Subjects," by Reeves Wiedeman (Vulture, 2023). "Inside the Documentary Cash Grab," by Mia Galuppo and Katie Kilkenny (The Hollywood Reporter, 2022). Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry, documentary (2021). EXTRAS: “Ari Emanuel Is Never Indifferent,” by Freakonomics Radio (2023).
