David Hoffman Filmmaker (27 Yrs.Old) & TIm Page Director (13 Yrs Old) On National TV In 1968

For my subscribers. Back in 1968, this is what I looked and sounded like. I was on national television doing an interview (I had never done an interview on national TV before) because I had made a film about a teenage 8 mm film director and the film had one more than 30 first-place blue ribbons at festivals in the USA and around the world.

I was working for the Public Broadcast Laboratory (prime time TV!) at that time telling stories of the coming of 8 mm home movie filmmakers. The 16mm documentary film that I had made with this young director was titled A Day With Timmy Page. My film opened the New York Film Festival that year and got a standing ovation and it was run twice that evening because the audience was laughing so hard the 1st time around and many in the audience missed hearing all of the words spoken by Timmy. Tim Page became a very well known music critic and the author of a book on his Aspergers. We still keep in touch. You can skip past the movie if you have seen it before as there is more of my interview. Here is the film that I made for PBL at that time–    • See These Amateur Filmmakers Producing in ...
