Fantastic. An invaluable subject to document, a warm character with quality information and experiences. And great shots too!

And I just realized The Archive was also your work. Your productions are incredibly important.

Loved getting to know this guy but the question about Iraq was out of place. It had nothing to do with the story of this veteran. Wars will continue until the extintion of mankind. What's the point asking some 107 year old man about it?

Other than that it was great. He seemed like a nice old guy with a lot of stories to tell. I would love to shake his and and thank him for his service to this country whether right or worng or whatever the reason we got into that war or any other. I hope we would have the same respect for our military and vets involved in the middle east as well.

In January my wife will be deploying for 12 months to Afghanistan. I certanily hope she will see 107 year old.

you have a knack for documentaries. i've been wanting to do this with my grandfather, but with the Korean War.

Awesome, i like your job,
So interesting documentarie.
I hope you're drinking a large beer, now!

Thank you for making this. What a treasure.

Excellent doc - Ken Burns is roasting with envy. ;)

Thinking of posting a HD version?

Great work Sean, really impressed once again.

Excelllent editing and gathering of thoughts into a succint documentary.

BTW, you certainly know how to use the "B" rolls/shots.
Also, I don't know if you realize it... but, historically... the stuff you are doing will continue to have significant value into the future.

How did you get to know Mr. Frank W. Buckles? It was very nice of you to do this for him and interesting for us. Thank you and congratulations!

Awesome Sean. I'm amazed at how crystal this guy is at 107. .. Wow!

Thank you Mr. Buckles. And, well done Sean.

real good!! nice photo and color! i am a fan of your work. The Archiver was great!! (sorry bout my poor english, hehe)

What a great story. Mr. Buckles is so sharp, the editing is paced perfectly. I enjoyed hearing the details of his involvement in WWI, as well as his thoughts on modern war, it gives perspective.

another gem my man.

great work!

It's amazing how he can remember all those dates.

Beautifully shot and produced video - it seemed in full harmony with Mr. Buckle's serene spirit and his daughter's.
It was a pleasure and a privilege to listen to his memories and observations.

Another great film Sean! And, again, very well edited. Amazing stuff. Such a great subject too.

Concentrate of Wisdom

Commendable work guys!

Powerful work, now I see why producer Scott Lynch picked you to be in the next FilmFellas on Documentary filmmaking. Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow as you join the Documentary FilmFellas cast. As you represent the up and coming generation of Documentary filmmakers you are going to bring a lot to this cast with fellow cast members David Grubin (The American Experience) and Ondi Timoner (We Live in Public).

An important work, Sean.

I had a professor about his age and re reminds me so much of him he always sat with this legs crossed like that and he always dresses like this guy

Wonderful work.

your documentaries are amazing. you find such power in each story

I liked a lot your documentaries. Your are gulty of having me "lost" most of the morning looking them all :)

Sean, your work continues to be an inspiration. I appreciated his insight into Iraq, and see it as a perfectly valid question for many reasons. For one, WW I was also known as "the war to end all wars" -- therefore, for me, the question was begged ... how does he feel about the fact that his efforts did not contribute to the war that ended all wars, but that contributed to what just continued to be a pattern of US foreign policy? Well done and thank you for this contribution.

Happy birthday Frank!

RIP Frank. Thanks for this great memory to remember him by Sean.

We lost an important link to our past. Sorry to see him go. Fortunately we have visual records like this to pass on to our kids. May his memory never be lost.

Excellent piece about a man who probably got the recognition that all our veterans deserve.

Thank you for sharing it with us.

great doc, RIP frank.

btw what camera did u use?

Very inspiring, I love the way he speaks openly against war as only a veteran would.
