Behind the Scenes: A Journey into Film Making

Behind the Scenes: A Journey into Film Making

Ken Spurgeon is a historian, teacher, producer/director, writer and Kansan. His film company, Fall River Productions, focuses on historically themed projects. Join Spurgeon as he discusses the challenges and rewards of filmmaking in Kansas. He will also share behind-the-scenes accounts of working with local and national actors as well as insights for those who want to follow in his path. Spurgeon will discuss what it is like to work with his sometimes cantankerous and always expansive star – the prairie of Kansas. His movies include Home on the Range, The Contested Plains and his most recent offering Sod and Stubble.
