Stuart Samuels is an acclaimed academic and a film and television producer, writer, and award-winning documentary filmmaker. Some of his works include Visions of Light: The Art of Cinematography, Midnight Movies: From The Margin to the Mainstream, The Beatles: Eight Days a Week: The Touring Years and The Lost Weekend: A Love Story. His works explore the relationship of popular culture to the broader historical context of their times.
Today we’ll dive into his early work - from the groundbreaking late-night music video series Night Flight in the early 80s, to the making of the first HD music videos with Academy Award-winning Polish film and music video director Zbigniew Rybczynski. We’ll also discuss Eight Days a Week: The Touring Years, the Beatles documentary he co-produced with Ron Howard, and the making of The Lost Weekend: A Love Story, which premiered earlier this month.
