Jefferson Davis is one of those historical figures who gets lost between the lines of history textbooks. He held the important position of President of the Confederacy during the Civil War, but little else is widely known about the man. Filmmaker Brian Gary of Flying Chaucer Films set out to learn all he could about Davis and put together a three-part documentary miniseries titled Jefferson Davis: An American President. In this episode of Technology Today, guest host Andy Beach spoke with Brian Gary, an award-winning writer, producer, director, and editor, about his latest project. They discuss how the documentary, a five-year-long project, was brought from pre- to post-production in a rather unconventional way, beginning with the shooting process. Gary also touches on his process for editing and mastering the film throughout many technology changes and system upgrades. This episode of Technology Today is a co-production with Inlet Technologies. For more episodes of Technology Today, click here.
