Get to know the filmmaker:
I was motivated to make this film after learning more about Buster Keaton’s childhood and being fascinated by the fact that he had an entire career in vaudeville – and was a STAR – before he ever entered the movie industry. My co-producer, Ron Pesch, was instrumental in motivating me to make this film as well as actually making it.
