For five decades Jay Craven has written, produced, and directed character-driven films deeply rooted in Vermont and New England, including five films based on the works of Howard Frank Mosher. His latest film, Lost Nation, digs into the parallel stories of Ethan Allen and the pioneering Black Guilford poet Lucy Terry Prince.
In this FREE talk titled “Jay Craven’s Vermont Cinema: How and Why?” Craven describes working with actors such as Rip Torn, Tantoo Cardinal, Kris Kristofferson and Michael J. Fox, and share the satisfactions and challenges that come from a deep immersion into place-based narrative.
