Austin television personality Carolyn Jackson interviews Rudy Durand about the film Tilt which he wrote, directed and produced. He discusses his motivation to persist despite a number of financial and legal setbacks that held up production for 11 years, and expresses his pleasure in the completed project. He also highlights the photographic techniques used in the film and the importance of pinball, citing the 250 different pinball machines used in the film and speaking of the 28 million avid pinball fans who he hopes will see the movie.

Carolyn Jackson was on the air in Austin as a daytime lifestyle show host during the late 1960s and 1970s. She began her broadcast career when she joined KTBC in 1968 as the host of Women's World, which was later renamed The Carolyn Jackson Show. In the late 1970s, Jackson moved the show to KTVV (now NBC affiliate KXAN.)

These excerpts represent a small sample of Jackson's work. The bulk of her collection is made up of interviews with Texas personalities or from Hollywood film release press junkets, but the collection also includes feature stories, outtakes, and behind the scenes clips.
