He expostulates on the way in which concepts for films overtake him and literally force him to work despite the fact he has never encouraged it to happen; he also discusses his gifts as an articulator of stories and images from the collective unconscious. This session was filmed at the Slought Foundation in Philadelphia. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
