In this episode—the very first recorded conversation of Season III—Celene Beth sits down with Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Mental Health Coordinator Michelle Backe for a discussion that serves as a genuine love letter to the indie documentary community.
While on-set support is fundamentally shifting media production, this conversation explores what happens when psychological safety is built directly into non-fiction storytelling. Michelle’s entry into true crime was deeply shaped through her close personal friendships with participant advocates Margie Ratliff and Jessie Buttafuoco—bringing critical real-world insights into long-term care, accountability, and ethical support for individuals at the center of public narratives.
Together, they also uplift key works championing human-centered practices across the industry, including
Subject (Lady & Bird Films), alongside Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey and Trust Me: The False Prophet (Ark Media).Episode Links & Resources
