With Kenneth J. Harvey
How did this film come together?
I first met Stan in the 1980s at craft shows, and admired him and his work very much. I thought he would be an ideal subject for a documentary film.
Did anything unexpected happen as you were making this film?
As with any film, unexpected delights were plentiful.
What's the best filmmaking advice you've ever received?
From my father: Never be afraid to get your shot. Don't worry about getting in front of people or making a nuisance of yourself. Those people will likely forget about the incident, and you will have captured your shot forever.
