10 Best Documentarians In Found Footage Films

8. Brian Taylor (End Of Watch)

Open Road FilmsOpen Road FilmsWhile studying law and taking a filmmaking class, Officer Taylor gives us a firsthand view of what it is like to be a cop on the mean streets of South Central LA. Never afraid to keep filming, even if his superiors, fellow officers and even his partner doesn€™t like it, Taylor provides plenty to make you glad you don€™t wear a badge. He captures fist fights, car chases, gun fights, cartel murders and bloody payback, but always keeps his camera rolling. Taylor even has two little recording devices that he attaches to himself and his partner so that we can see everything they see, even when Taylor isn€™t holding a camera. With the footage from police car dashboard cameras, his own camera and even gang members€™ cameras, Taylor makes End of Watch a film you never quite want to finish watching.
