In 1985, video production company owner Frank Beacham embarked on a creative journey with what was then the latest technology—the Betacam recorder—and a film legend, Orson Welles.

With the first handheld camera and recorder combination ever produced, the two men set out to revolutionize the movie business—bypassing the gatekeepers to put the responsibility of art back into the artists’ hands. What happened next, neither man could have predicted.

Tickets for Maverick are priced between $30 and $50. Tickets are available online at https://www.artful.ly/store/events/16663

Cliplight Theater has presented a video Q&A on YouTube with Beacham about Welles:
