Emmy award winning producer Elliot Caplan served as filmmaker-in-residence at the Cunningham Dance Foundation from 1983 until January 1998, and collaborated with Merce Cunningham, John Cage, Nam June Paik, and Bruce Baillie in the production of a number of internationally recognized works. He has taught courses, lectured and been in residence at colleges and universities in the United States and abroad including co-direction with Michael Kidd of the Dance/Film/Video Workshop at the Sundance Institute. Currently, Mr. Caplan is Professor of Media Studies and Director of the Center for the Moving Image at The State University of New York at Buffalo. The Washington Post said of Caplan's much awarded feature-length documentary, Cage/Cunningham.

"One of the things which makes the film remarkable is that although the ingredients are familiar with other documentaries... the tapestry that Caplan has woven from these threads is not like any you've seen before."
