What sparked your interest in
classic film?
At a young age, I watched comedy classics on Saturday mornings at a
local arts center/ theatre in Taos, New Mexico. They screened sure-to-please
greats like Laurel & Hardy, Our Gang, and Mack Sennett shorts. My
grandmother was also an early influencer who introduced me to jazz, mid-century
modern style, and classic films such as A SHOT IN THE DARK, IT’S A MAD, MAD,
MAD, MAD WORLD and WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION.
