Framing Britney Spears Filmmakers state they have not heard from Britney's team following Documentary and would love to do a follow-up

[Slayer]

Given the response and the questions raised by your doc, are you thinking about doing a follow-up?

Day: I think we'd love to, there was so much we had to leave on the cutting room floor and in our notebooks just for time. And also since the documentary aired, we've gotten a lot of information that we're interested in as well that we're interested in pursuing and reporting out further.

I was going to ask if, as is usual with these cases, sources start popping up once the story is out?

Day: Yeah. And I think something's that's happened as well is the documentary has helped us earn the trust of even more people. As we talked about earlier, people have been very distrustful of the press because they've felt burned in the past and I think the documentary's very sensitive treatment and respect of all parties and everyone helped us further.

I know you weren't able to get in touch with Britney Spears or her team before the documentary came out. Have they been in touch at all since it was released?

Stark: Like her publicist and manager and stuff?

Yeah, like her team.

Stark: Not her team in that way.

Robertson: She may be sending us messages through her Scrabble board on Instagram. (laughs)

Stark: Her manager, her publicist, her lawyers have not contacted us.

And she hasn't either, personally?

Stark: No.

Bloomberg recently reported that Netflix is working on a documentary about Britney Spears. What would you like to see explored further, whether by you or someone else? What questions do you still have as the filmmakers?

Stark: I think there's way more to learn about the circumstances of the conservatorship and how the conservatorship has been running and why, the people involved in its creation and running it. Right now, Jamie Spears is the face of this because he's the person that was named in the court filings that were filed by Britney's court-appointed attorney. But it's clear that he's not the only person who was working on this and that he's not the only person that has benefited monetarily from this, so I think it's important to look into everything. And of course it will be very important to keep following the court hearings as they keep happening.

Day: I totally agree with everything Sam just said and would just emphasize that Britney's money is such a big part of this. The court values the value of her estate at $60 million but there's a lot of speculation that her true net worth is much larger with royalties and intellectual property and there may be a substantial amount of money in a separate trust and I think the more that is learned about all of that, that should be really interesting. The next court hearing is March 17 and it's excepted that Britney's court-appointed counsel, Samuel Ingham, will be filing further detailed objections to the way Jamie has allegedly mismanaged her estate so I think we're really interested to see what he's objecting to and just watching more of those records become public.

Stark: And so, as journalists, we're always looking for people with firsthand knowledge and experience, as Liz [often] says.

I’m legit tearing up that actual journalists are finally getting invested in this, seeing this for what it is and want to investigate further. This will get so much bigger than it already is.

[MonaLisa613]

I would love a follow up focused more on the cship, there’s so much more to it that the public just doesn’t know. Hope they do it!!

[kleinbritney]

Lol You just have to register here and you will get all the information you need for a new documentation. You need to deal with the contradictions in the court records. Guardianship was a conspiracy from the start. In fact, it started when Britneys lost the custody battle. Because of a stupid California driver's license. From the custody dispute onwards, they should tear up court files

[Forever222]

Yes! Great interview 

[Guest]

I love that they talked about Jamie not being the only one behind this, profitting off her situation. Also the fact her networth is really low to someone like her. I love when people talk about Britneys money bc I know this is what team con and her family care the most. These girls seem super invested in the case and I hope they not only continue like this, but also inspire others to do the same! 

[Sea flower]

These ladies never disappoint when they are interviewed. They speak so well and to the point.

[rennen]

I love that these ladies took the time and effort to invest in this. They've given the movement the credibility it needed.

Of course we had Britney thanking us in court documents but the general media and public were quick to forget about that. This documentary has hit differently and has had a longer lasting, positive reaction. 

[Stefani]

They should do a sequel where they interview Exhalers.

Lou and Wallet you are next 

[I'mNotTheAverageLady]

I love them

Yep. Of course we need some focus on Loucifer, but also INGHAM. I highly doubt he’s a changed man, it’s time for more pressure. Setting Jamie as the fall guy is the easy way out. They ALL need to pay and Britney deserves to be free.

Lou looking for her next victim to sue

[K3yN]

I'm so grateful this documentary happened . Everybody is talking about it. Not a conspiracy theory anymore. I'm really hopeful for Britney's freedom. It's been so long, and of course we'll have to wait more, but our girl will get the happiness she deserves.

It sounds like they would have dived into the “other” parties that have robbed britney but they need more info 

IMO this shows that they did a lot of research on the items they presented

Asking and answering those questions also might get them someone to step forward with the information they are looking for. And make a sequel. It’s good they are fishing for facts and letting people to come forward. 

[Fenixxx123]

So the Netflix doc is pretty confirmed?

[DuranDuran]

Didn't want to create a separate topic, so I'll post it here :

 

And interesting, but sad comment to this podcast on Twitter. Here:

[Isla]

Honestly this is what journalism is all about and I really applaud these two for taking the time out investigate the cship! I’d love a follow up if possible.

[Haburo]

If they could interview some actual mental health law/human rights attorneys to comment on the legality of the conservatorship, instead of probate/trust attorneys who are involved and whose legal expertise begins and ends at forwarding papers to an accountant, that would be nice.
