    An insightful loving moment captured forever of "being there" with Ricky Leacock.

    I love this portrait of Ricky Leacock and his life with Valerie living in Normandy in 2000. Cooking, recounting his past career with friend and fellow filmmaker Les Blank, and anecdote after anecdote about life and his forever love of just being in the moment with camera and self.

      Richard Leacock: We can't get our films on television. Very rarely. And if you do get onto television, it's a horrible feeling. It's... you... you... It's just... it's gone. Television's like a giant whale that eats films. Thirty films a night. Hmmm. Thirty films a night. Chomp. Seven days a week. Chomp! Three-hundred and sixty-five days a year. Chomp! Thirty films every fucking night. It doesn't give a flying fuck about them! It doesn't give any... there's no discussion, no - no feeling. It's horrible to go on television.
