The article profiles documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman, with a particular focus on his film "In Jackson Heights". The film, which explores New York City's Jackson Heights neighborhood, will perform at the city's Film Forum in November 2015. Wiseman was drawn to the neighborhood because of its aesthetics and its concentration of new immigrants. Details on his fundraising efforts for the film and for other documentary project, including his use of the crowdfunding website Kickstarter, are discussed.
