SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. >> A Skidmore College graduate will return to the campus Monday to screen an HBO documentary he produced.
“Becoming Warren Buffet,” produced by 2008 Skidmore graduate Teddy Kunhardt, will be shown in the Somers Room of the college’s Tang Teaching Museum at 7 p.m. The screening is free and open to the public.
Becoming Warren Buffett is a co-production of HBO and Kunhardt Films directed by Peter Kunhardt, Teddy Kunhardt’s father. His brother George Kunhardt is also a producer.
Kunhardtart Films recently won an Emmy Award for “Jim: The James Foley Story,” which aired last year on HBO. Two previous Kunhardt productions, “Lincoln” and “Gloria: In Her Own Words,” were also nominated for Emmys.
This latest documentary focuses on Warren Buffet, the 86-year-old billionaire and owner of Berkshire Hathaway, the fourth-largest public company in the world.
The film not only reveals Buffet’s humble lifestyle and self-effacing personality, but his integrity and mind, which drove him not only to become a successful businessman in the world, but also a philanthropist.
The documentary is told primarily in Buffett’s own words. The film features never-before-released home videos, family photographs, archival footage and interviews with family and friends.
