The Untold Story of the LOTR Behind-the-Scenes Documentaries

The Lord of the Rings Appendices are arguably the best behind-the-scenes special features ever made. But they are not the only Lord of the Rings behind the scenes documentaries. So join me as we delve into the untold story of the making of The Making of The Lord of the Rings.

An enormous thanks to both Costa Botes and Michael Pellerin for agreeing to speak to me for this video, and for being so generous with their time and insights. This video would not have been possible without their support. More about their work here:
