Daggett made documentary films about Western subjects including tribes and cattle, where she made use of a technique known as tribesourcing, an approach applied to update, correct and contextualize films such as theirs.[4] She also made films about sights in Louisiana, her home state, and Mississippi.[1] She made a film for the Louisiana Sovereignty Commission entitled A Way of Life.[5] She filmed with a Bolex 16 mm camera.[6]
