As I was preparing the soundtrack from my film As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty, I was video-taping myself doing it. This is a glimpse of an independent film maker at work. From the cycle of FIRST FORTY I made in late 2006 as an introduction to my work for my new, Internet audience. All of them are based on my earlier films but slightly, sometimes more than slightly, changed. I consider them works complete in themselves, seperate from the main body of my film work.
