While Director Don Starnes and Editor Rick LeCompte get PBDG ready to ship on to sound design, I’m working on the bonus material captured by Audrey Daniel during the PBDG shoot.
Here’s a little interview where I talk about pinball and PBDG.
Speaking of documentary footage, check out a clip from the work in progress by technology historian and filmmaker Jason Scott of Get Lamp
Huge thank you to TJ Beyer and Disco Volante for letting us film some pickups yesterday. With TJ saving my bacon on the off camera flipper, I even got to do a little stunt play myself. Jeri — your job is still safe

TJ Beyer was dubbed the”pinball ninja” by our director Don Starnes. Always close by, but never in the frame, TJ wrangled games like wind in the night. His AFM and other games were huge for the film.
We turned around and TJ had rigged remote controls for AFM

I am so grateful to TJ for his tireless assistance on set and off. And he has a darn fine loft, too!
