478: Hans-Joachim Brucherseifer - "Looking For Erdnase"

Young German filmmaker Hans-Joachim Brucherseifer was bitten by the magic bug and jumped into the deep end right away. His undergraduate thesis for a film was on a search for the covert mystery man known as S.W. Erdnase. Thanks to a Kickstarter campaign and the German Film Board, he is raising money to produce a docudrama called, “Looking for Erdnase”.

American filmmaker Jim Davey has a similar film in production called “The Expert” which has a different perspective. Jim’s film will be more interviews whereas Hans’ film will have scripted vignettes based upon stories, documents, letters and conversations. Both documentaries are targeted to an audience who loves mysteries.

You can listen to the conversation with Jim Davey from the archives by Clicking Here.
