David Carradine and Haskell Wexler – Film Making as Collaboration

posted by Jett Loe

Film Making is a collaborative art.

Want proof?  Check out this description of this ‘Bound for Glory’ panel gone awry, (link courtesy of Higgins who made my day with this link), featuring the late David Carradine and revered cinematographer Haskell Wexler:

Bound for Hell, Or Glory? David Carradine and the Feistiest Film Panel Ever

In case you wonder how fraught the evening actually was in the text linked to above here’s a sample MP3 from the event:

“Hal, just take a minute and stop sniffing that stuff up your nose”

It’s tough to make a film – and not everybody is going it get along.  The author of the piece at top seems surprised that David and Haskell hug at the end – but that’s what you’ve got to do – you’ve got to get along if you want to keep going on.  And make more movies.
