| | John Kelso--Film Historian |
 | | Film historians I have met are Kevin Brownlow, Russell Merritt, Bruce Lawton, David Shepard, John C. Tibbetts, and Wichita film notables, J.B. Kaufman and Jim Erickson. |
 | | D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation (1915) is my favorite film, and I believe that Griffith is the finest director in film history. |
 | | I have attended all thirteen Keaton Film Festivals in Iola, Kansas, and six silent film festivals in Topeka, Kansas, plus the Parsons, Kansas ZaSu Pitts Festival in April 1998 and 1999. |
