The Steadicam Story

Fishko Files | Dec 14, 2016

In 1976, Garrett Brown became an inventor and, as WNYC’s Sara Fishko tells us, changed the face of movies. He and his invention, the Steadicam, are being honored at a film series starting tomorrow. More in this edition of Fishko Files…

The Film Society of Lincoln Center series "Going Steadi: 40 Years of Steadicam" starts tomorrow at the Walter Reade Theater. For tickets and more information, visit filmLINC.org.
