Bob
Huck graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in
1994 with a degree in Economics. He started working with The
Duncan Group shortly after as a production assistant and business
administrator. In addition to his administrative and management
duties, Huck has also immersed himself in the various levels
of the production process over the years. In 2001 he edited
his first full one hour documentary, Rafting Alaska’s Wildest
Rivers, which won Emmy’s for writing, editing, and best
sports documentary. Other works in editing include The Magic
Never Ends – The Life & Work of C.S. Lewis, and Beyond
the Gridiron – The Life & Times of Woody Hayes. Huck
has also worked as a producer and associate producer on various
corporate films produced by The Duncan Group over the past several
years.
What inspires you most about your work on documentary films?
What inspires me most about working on documentary films is
experiencing the process of taking an idea and turning it
into something tangible for viewers. Something that people
can relate to, draw inspiration from, or simply be entertained
by. I also enjoy the experiences of the travel, whether it
be the excitement of river rafting or the challenges of filming
in third world countries.
If you could recommend just one book to visitors to the
DuncanEntertainment.com web site, what would it be and why?
I tend to like stories of human endurance. My most recent
favorite is Into Thin Air. It’s a great adventure and
an interesting examination into the mindset of the people
that are crazy enough to climb Everest.
During
your time working with The Duncan Group, what experiences
have you found most rewarding?
I find myself extremely fortunate to have been able to meet
people from around the world. Not only the international musicians,
celebrities, and scholars but also the street vendors, porters,
and beggars. They all have interesting stories to tell and
all help me realize just how small our world is. Those are
the occasional “experiences” that are rewarding.
But nothing is more rewarding than the job itself. I not only
love to work but I also love my work and co-workers. There
have not been many days over the past ten years when I’ve
wished I was someplace else.
What
is your favorite Duncan Group production and why?
This is a tough one. It seems that every time we finish a
program there is a buzz or feeling of pride that is associated
with it, and rightfully so. This tends to have a short term
blurring effect on some of the work that we’ve done previously.
But when the dust settles I would have to say that Rafting
Alaska’s Wildest Rivers stands out as my favorite. This
is probably because of the wonderful experiences I had throughout
the entire production.
