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

<p>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. <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/kingcrimson'>#kingcrimson</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/inthecourtofthecrimsonking'>#inthecourtofthecrimsonking</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/robertfripp'>#robertfripp</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/documentaries'>#documentaries</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/directors'>#directors</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/documentarydirectors'>#documentarydirectors</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/rockdocumentaries'>#rockdocumentaries</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/progrock'>#progrock</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/progressiverock'>#progressiverock</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/storytelling'>#storytelling</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/storytellers'>#storytellers</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/stories'>#stories</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/filmmakers'>#filmmakers</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/filmmakersoncraft'>#filmmakersoncraft</a></p>
