POV

From the Archives: Filmmaker Alan Berliner (2001)

In this interview conducted for the 2001 POV broadcast of "The Sweetest Sound," Alan Berliner talks about his inspiration for making a film about his name. He acknowledges the narcissism associated with such a project, but says he hopes his film will become a mirror for others to learn about the meaning of their own names. (This is a rough cut from the POV archives.)
