Billy Name, Silver Factory Gatekeeper, Artist and Historian, interview in studio, New York City.
The concept for the interview was to work on a bare stage, darkened, with a projection of Billy’s photos behind him in part of the frame and a kind of bright front lighting on Billy’s three quarter form. The idea of projecting images behind the subject came from camera/lighting director Ben Starkman and producer for New York shooting, Ronan Nagle from All Day Buffet Films. We liked it so much we decided to do a number of the first interviews this way.
