My research process doesn't vary much. I do a little reading to establish a timeline and decide how I'm going to approach the story.

Film-makers must decide what story to tell and how to tell it.

I read a lot of books. Here are the books I'm using for my 9/11 project. [Wright gestures to three six-foot-long shelves of books.] As I read them I highlight certain passages. Then I have an assistant write down each quote on an index card and note where it came from.
