Young Indiana Jones not only took us around the world with Henry Jones Jr as he enjoyed travels with father while he learned about treasures both contemporary and ancient, but the making of the series was an adventure all of its own, and the team at Young Indy Chroniclers delve headfirst into this goldmine of Lucasfilm history as they chat with actress Hilary Momberger-Powers, who also served as script supervisor on the show.

What was it really like to work on The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles?
In this deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation, we sit down with legendary script supervisor Hilary Momberger-Powers, who worked on the third season of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles — including the internationally shot television films that redefined what TV production could be in the 1990s.

From filming in Prague during a personal tragedy…
to surviving 18-hour days in freezing European castles…
to witnessing George Lucas and Rick McCallum push the boundaries of early blue screen technology…

Hillary shares what made Young Indy different:
“Young Indy was art.”

She discusses:
-How the series was treated like a feature film, not television
-The groundbreaking visual effects techniques used decades ahead of their time
-The intense demands of continuity on globe-spanning shoots
-The boys-club culture of 90s film sets
-Why she walked away from major directors later in her career
-Working with Sean Patrick Flanery, Lloyd Owen, Michael Schultz, and Ben Burtt
-Starting out in Roger Corman films
-Her experience on the unreleased 1994 Fantastic Four
-And how working on Young Indy permanently raised her creative standards
