Northern Stars, a massive website which deals with
film Canadiana asked if they could interview me for their website.
Northen Stars owner, the wonderful, gentle, handsome, Ralph Lucas
turned up, and decided that the Boyd’s back garden would be ideal
for the shooting. Ralph finances the website all by himself, with no help
from any charitable contributions, nor Telefilm nor the Canadian government.
He does it as a labour of love
The tiny black device Ralph is holding is an HD camera
which can shoot an amazing amount of film.
He brought Wyndham Wise to interview me. Wyndham is
probably the foremost authority on Canadian Film. He began Cinema Canada,
followed it through, and then edited Canadian Cinematographer,
among many occupations. Now he is freelance writer.

Phil Pendry was the cameraman. Phil is, believe it or not, 85 years old.
He began in the 40s with the 35MM newsreels for cinemas.
He spent three years in the Vietnam war, he’s shot all three
Israel-Arabs wars. Last week he spent 5 days shooting the girls
of the Miss Universe contest, and in two weeks he’s off around the world
shooting a documentary series... An amazing man.
