Question by Full Metal Tallit: What are all of the films made by Ron Pitts (first African American filmmaker in Chicago)?
OK, this is a hard one. I tried looking up his name on IMDb, but had no luck. He is not there. I am specifically trying to find the film he shot at the 1968 Chicago riots during the democratic convention. But, I would also like a full list of all his films if it’s possible. By the way he is an Independent filmmaker and did mostly documentaries. Any help?
No, that is not the guy. There are 3 “Ron Pitts” listed on IMDb and he is not anyone of them.
No, he is 70 something years old. That guy is way too young.
