Episode Description
Ben Model is a talented pianist who travels the world accompanying silent movies…but that's just the tip of the iceberg. He's a good guy who wears many hats: historian, proselytizer, promoter, preservationist, teacher, and distributor, to name just a few. He blew Leonard and Jessie's minds when he unveiled his research about variable running times for silent films and proved how Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and others used the hand-cranking of the camera to their benefit.
