The Lunchbox Interview: Benjamin Dugdale (Filmmaker)

The world is full of story; you just have to have the eyes wide enough to see it, the dreaming mind to interpret it, and the skills to capture it..

During the summer, the Fredericton Arts Alliance brings a pair of artists together in the Barracks to practice their art for all to see. These artists come from a wide variety of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to basket-weaving and writing. As each pair of artists comes in, we’ll be talking to them on the Lunchbox.

My guest today is Benjamin Dugdale, a local filmmaker working on composing film with traditional film stock. He’s currently one of the artists-in-residence down at the Barracks, working on editing his silent film. We caught up a little on the status of Knots ‘n’ Prods, a student film he last spoke to me about in January, as well as the wild process used to produce his latest work.
