This is a long form version of a 1999 news report about the Reel Cowboys, an organization of actors, directors, producers, stunt men/women and other "behind the camera" people in western movies and TV shows. The goal of the Reel Cowboys association is to keep alive the wholesome values most often portrayed in the American Western drama as well as raise money for abused children and victims of domestic violence.

This interview with comedian/actor/musician Steve Allen was filmed in September 1997 for a local TV show. Mr. Allen shares his thoughts on youth, aging, his career, success and spirituality. Very insightful.

This video explores some deeper background on Clokey Productions and Art Clokey and his family. The unscripted interview covers the early process of animating Gumby and some little known knowledge about the Clokey family based on an intimate conversation with Art Clokey in 1983.

This interview was recorded in April 1983 for a magazine article. In the interview, Art Clokey explains the origins of Gumby, his philosophy regarding Gumby, clay animation and children’s films in general.
