In his documentary short 26,000 Days, Director Henry Behel chronicles both the nuanced technical ability and the grab-life-by-the-horns worldview of ambitious Airshow pilot Eric Tucker. Taking an almost surf film-like approach, the doc depicts Tucker with a calm, graceful aura as he takes to the skies to execute death-defying stunts in a plane built for much less. Tucker, as both a pilot and a person, is a fascinating figure to watch and Behel does an excellent job of balancing the thrilling cinematography of his aerial acrobatics with Tucker’s reflective, philosophical ruminations. Dn is delighted to present 26,000 Days’ online premiere today and is joined by Behel below for a revealing conversation about his own origins as a pilot, the contemplative, multi-year process of making 26,000 Days with Tucker, and the specialised technical equipment he utilised to achieve the film’s breathtaking agile camerawork.

Exclusive: Bedlam, the small, critically acclaimed Off Broadway theater company known for its clever, spare and unconventional stagings of classics like The Crucible and Saint Joan, is developing Bedlam: The Series, an eight-episode New Media mash-up of Shakespeare plays using the Bard’s own language.
The series, to be released on an as-yet-unannounced platform, begins filming this month in New York City and New York’s Hudson Valley.
Written by Bedlam artistic director Eric Tucker and Musa Gurnis and directed by Tucker, the series will combine characters and plots from King Lear, The Merry Wives of Windsor, The Merchant of Venice and other plays in an all-new story.
“As a theatre company, most immediately, we need to adapt to our current situation and find ways of staying alive,” Tucker said, “creating content that serves our mission and vision, while assuring the well-being and livelihood of our regular artists and staff.
