We learn about the elements that comprise his style, what he refers to as the “the authentic application of technique” and hear about his collaborators such as cinematographer Buddy Squires and writers Geoffrey Ward and Dayton Duncan.
Ken describes his films as “hand made…labor intensive” and stresses the importance of the time he spends in the editing room. We learn how WNET made an important contribution to getting his first films on the air, and hear advance word about upcoming projects including Vietnam, Country Music and Ernest Hemingway.
