This may be the new Keaton documenatry the Kevin Brownlow put together for a new, upcoming Keaton DVD collection (maybe Kino or Image?)

They were looking for some extras for the DVD, asked Brownlow if they could use his Keaton doc "A Hard Act to Follow", he said it was tied up, but he had enough stuff to put another together.....
