Filmmaker Interview on Photographer Pedro E. Guerrero

Season 29 Episode 7

About the Episode

Raymond Telles and Yvan Iturriaga are co-directors and co-producers of American Masters — Pedro E. Guerrero: A Photographer’s Journey. The filmmakers conducted an original interview with Guerrero in 2010 and used that as "the spine for telling his story," says Telles. Although they filmed on the same locations where Guerrero worked, they decided to use less footage and more of his photos.
