Old Friends: The Unofficial Simon & Garfunkel Documentary

An archival footage documentary surrounding the history of the famed duo, Simon & Garfunkel. Some elements are dramatized to develop an emotional narrative alongside their history.

This documentary was made within the span of 3 weeks in October of 2022 for a Sophomore Documentary & Experimental class at Syracuse University.

The facts presented are left as they were found at the time. Some information might be false as a result of this turnaround. Either way, I encourage whoever watches to do their own research and find out more about this iconic duo outside of the "will they, won't they work together".

Sometimes duos work, and oftentimes they don't. But that shouldn't diminish the accomplishments of the individuals.

Songs are written by Paul Simon
All I Know is written by Jimmy Webb
