James Bedsole | This short film about author and visionary Ray Kurzweil is my final project in Video Field Production course at the Harvard Extension School, Fall, 2013. I collaborated with my classmate Joan Chambers in making the film.

Kurzweil was generous in making himself available to be interviewed. His answers to my questions were focused and full of excellent content.
