If you watched Thirtysomething, The Wonder Years, Friday Night Lights or The West Wing, WG ‘Snuffy’ Walden may be one of the most influential contributors to the soundtrack of your life. Snuffy started out like many talented musicians in the ‘60s and ‘70s, embracing the ‘‘Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll’’ lifestyle while trying to make it in a rock band. But unlike some of his peers, Snuffy quietly transitioned into one of the most successful, well liked and impactful television composers of our time. Up To Snuff is the story of that metamorphosis, recounted by the likes of Aaron Sorkin, Timothy Busfield, Martin Sheen, Tom Arnold, Eric Burden (of the Animals), and many others.
Mark Maxey (Director & Producer), Gino Scofidio (Producer & Editor), and Snuffy Walden (Musician & Composer) will participate in a Q&A following the screening.

Many of the ideas that now dominate the tech industry and our day-to-day lives were born in 1989 at a Silicon Valley startup just outside of San Francisco that no one has ever heard of—General Magic. Although the company died, the concepts and the people who worked there went on to change how the world connects today. Described by Forbes as “The most important dead company in Silicon Valley” and combining rare archive footage with contemporary stories of the General Magicians today, this documentary captures the spirit of those of us who dare to dream big and the life-changing consequences when we fail, fail again, fail better and ultimately succeed.
General Magic is part of our Techflix series.
