Ken Zemke grew up in Buffalo, New York before finding his way to Hollywood where he joined the emerging Television industry as an editor.  He worked on many iconic shows including Hogan’s Heroes, The Waltons and Fantasy Island and he was supervising editor on the documentary film Elvis On Tour, which won a Golden Globe for best feature documentary.  One of his assistants on the film was a then unknown Martin Scorsese!  He was twice nominated for an Emmy, winning one for Outstanding Editing on a CBS tele-feature called The Quality of Mercy.  In the early 1980s Ken and his family relocated to New Zealand and Ken started working on films in both New Zealand and Australia, including one of our favourites; Came A Hot Friday starring Billy T James.  Lots of stories, great guy, great chats.  Get in to it.
