Variant of "making theater" a little more exaggerated, taking for biographer his old meaning of "cinema"; perhaps the difference was in silent cinema, where in the absence of words the actors had to gesticulate more exaggeratedly than in theater to represent a situation. It is worth clarifying that the term "do biographer" has not been used for decades. See spam.
