Was this lecture footage shot at the 1st Annual Delray Beach Film Festival before they gave him a lifetime achievement award? If so, I was in the audience for this.

I think I recognize Chuck Eldred, PB Film Commissioner, on the dais. Good going, Chuck! (Love Roger Corman!!)

Hollywood needs another Roger Corman!

[HellFireKane]

Sadly, I've only seen a few of his films. I'd love to see most if not all of them.

Corman is incredible. Pit and the Pendulum is a very unsettling film.

You can get a lot of Corman's films on his website newhorizonspictures (dot) com so PearJammer07 and others, you should check it out. There's also a blog that apparently will have more of his thoughts on independent film etc.

There should be a box set of Roger Cormans best films. THe only Roger Corman film i have seen is Galaxy of Terror. Very good movie for the time and effects technology around at the time.He is a good director even if it is for B films.

Roger I am using your movie Big Bad Mama in my book and movie

Only knowing of Roger Corman until now, this was surprisingly impressive (imho). His presentational style plus his perspective from his experiences turns out to be a kind of must-see comprehensive ten minute cornerstone to just about everything in the film industry.
