Preview: Filmmaker Toby Amies describes his ”moment by moment” approach to documentary storytelling

Toby Amies' "In the Court of the Crimson King" is already being celebrated as a classic among rock music documentaries -- and it hasn't even been officially released. Amies spent months following legendary guitarist Robert Fripp and his latest incarnation of the extraordinary music collective known as King Crimson -- now more than five decades old. The film is a singularly personal and truly engrossing look at a band from the inside, with revealing commentary from over 20 past and present members. Throughout the movie, Amies is a welcome, unifying presence -- his off-camera voice posing sometimes-uncomfortable questions, always to the viewer's benefit. In this brief excerpt from our forthcoming full interview, Amies describes his instinctive, spontaneous approach to documentary storytelling. #kingcrimson #inthecourtofthecrimsonking #robertfripp #documentaries #directors #documentarydirectors #rockdocumentaries #progrock #progressiverock #storytelling #storytellers #stories #filmmakers #filmmakersoncraft
