Remarkable Jaws 25th Anniversary Interviews Re-discovered on YouTube
Running the world’s most read JAWS website is as much about being a treasure hunter as it is blogger. Like Quint, Hooper and Brody hunting the great shark, every once in a while we discover something special. One evening browsing YouTube, I came across a series of remarkable interviews with some of the JAWS cast and crew. I for one am truly thankful for the team over at Time Axis Media for making the trip to JAWS shooting location Martha’s Vineyard in 2000 to document what would be the final in-depth interviews for some of the unsung heroes of Steven Spielberg’s shark classic. Enjoy! - Ross
For the Silver Anniversary (year 2000) of Jaws, we traveled to Martha's Vineyard to shoot locations and interview people involved with the production. The idea was to take our prized footage and create a documentary out of it. That didn't happen. With the advent of Jaws saturation like the E! True Hollywood story and others, not to mention our archaic video quality of the time, we decided to abandon the project.

Then somehow 10 years went by. Then the brilliant "The Shark Is Still Working" came out (which we happily supplied some interview and b-roll footage to), and by then it was old news, and our tapes continued to gather dust. A few years later, Jamie Benning used some of our audio for his amazing Inside Jaws filmumentary.

Its now been exactly 22 years since we shot these interviews. Its time to release them and share them with the public. This website documents our trip in detail, as it always has. But now we've added all the interview and location footage to each section. Better late then never, right? These are basically unedited interviews, and we hope you enjoy this as part of the 40th anniversary of our beloved Jaws!
