Interview with Andy Reichsman and Kate Purdie

In 1993, partners Andy Reichsman and Kate Purdie came to southern Vermont and became BCTV’s co-Executive Directors for two years. After their tenure at the station, they pair continued to be a dynamic, prolific filmmaking team through their production company Ames Hill Productions. To celebrate BCTV’s 50th Anniversary, they sat down with Johnny Gifford to reflect on their time at BCTV, right at the time when they became a part of the community.
