Will Hindle (1929-1987) was an American filmmaker whose striking and innovative use of experimental film techniques resulted in a small but powerful body of work. Born in Louisiana, he later moved to Los Angeles, growing up with an actress mother, which led to various stints as a child actor. He attended Stanford University, lived in San Francisco, and then relocated to rural Alabama.
Hindle’s familiarity with Hollywood and his experience making dozens of television programs for CBS/Westinghouse led him to conclude that any art motivated by profit could never be considered great. After making his first two films, Pastorale d’été and Non Catholicam, he realized he lacked the financial means to create all that he desired. Consequently, he found novel ways to make his films. For instance, Gene Youngblood notes in Expanded Cinema that Hindle would shoot original scenes with wide-angle lenses before "cropping" them by re-photographing the images with a special single-frame projector.
