One last thing. I figured this might be of interest since it's related to THX-1138 and could be used an extra bonus material.
It is 1971, THX 1138 was released on March 11, American Zoetrope is spiraling towards certain doom, Lucas has become even more disillusioned with Hollywood than he was during his stint on McKenna’s Gold, and where exactly things go from here for the upstart and its members is all up in the air. And while American Zoetrope and Coppola had slowly started to cause waves — mostly due to THX’s failure as it were, though also because Coppola wasn’t afraid of touting American Zoetrope a state-of-the-art facility which could outmatch Hollywood, and that the company (and thus himself) was the future of filmmaking — Lucas was little more than a promising student who had made an obscure sci-fi film which opened small and died fast.
During the summer of ’71, as all of this is happening, Gene Youngblood interviewed the then 27-year-old Lucas for a Los Angeles-based educational TV station, KCET in an hour-long program called George Lucas: Maker of Films.

Here is a direct download-link to the video of the interview:
Good find. I think someone already did a preservation of this a while back.
Yes, a DVD has already been made: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/George-Lucas-Maker-of-Films-documentary/topic/10403/

A bit more info. The VCD box is dated 1991 but the files on the disc are dated July 2003. Runtime is 84 mins and 54 seconds. Some random site I found says that the Phillipines are NTSC M. If someone can tell me the time frame of the screenshot on post 947, I will try and do the same shot from the VCD.
70 minutes.
