Indiana,

I think your ideas are spot on.

You do know that you have within your reach a treasure trove of material in NC,
BR (yes, the man and not the pin), Lost Ark in RTP, Flippers on the NC Coast area,
Lots more pinball players and collectors, The Banker ( his collection alone is worth
a visit). There's Shanetastic, BR's running buddy and Technobarn, another one
of BR's friends. Right there is enough to get you hours worth of footage.

Marco's Specialties is located in SC, could be a road trip for you to go interview
that business and everyone there. In Charlotte NC is Brady Distribution, they've
been selling pins for a long time.

Then you have the guy from High-end Pins that does full restorations.
That visit alone would give you alot of material seeing his process.

I hope I've given you somethings to think about. I'm in NC also, about
45 minute drive from BR's house.

The pinball hobby needs more great and entertaining documentaries.
I hope you take your idea and bring the project into completion.

I will buy a DVD copy, if you do.

Spending 1 day with BR and I knew someone could do a pinball reality show on his life.
He is without a doubt a character, entertaining, opinions, and he's always falling into
More and more pins every month. He changes pins more than people change the oil in their
cars.
