Above, my interview with Errol Morris, using two cameras plus my intimacy-inducing open-source Interro-hat.

- Morris is credited as a director of one feature film, 1992’s Dark Wind, but he had a creative disagreement with producer Robert Redford.
- Before it was a quiet down-home Americana portrait, Morris originally intended Vernon, Florida to be about the townspeople’s predeliction for insurance fraud – until he starrted receiving death threats.
- Errol’s son, Hamilton, is a correspondent for Vice and produces a geeky show about psychedelic drugs (although I work for Vice, I did not know this until after setting up our interview)
- Randall Dale Adams, whose death row conviction was overturned thanks in part to A Thin Blue Line, later sued Morris to control rights to his story. (Morris gladly handed them over.)
