This is the most detailed and longest documentary film on Jester Hairston. "finished" in 2002. This is the fine cut copy. Richard Hatch was the producer, writer, director, editor and sometimes cinematographer for this production. Mark Shattuck of then, Spotlite Video, was a huge factor with technical assistance, equipment and labor along with numerous others (see credits) Ultimately, I could not broadcast this production due to the exhorbitant amount Jester's music publisher was asking. Plus - i included too many feature film clips that I cold not raise the funds to pay for.. No one had done any thing on his life of any great extent. So after meeting Jester, I obtained his rights and off I went to raise the funding. This is the only place you can see this 8 year project.
