Oh My God! An Interview with Harrod Blank!

In anticipation of the 4K remaster of Les Blank’s 'Burden of Dreams,' we interview Harrod Blank, a filmmaker, photographer, and car artist. Harrod, who took over his father Les Blank's legacy by restoring his films, shares his journey of becoming a filmmaker and artist in his own right. He discusses his unique path, various Art Cars, relationship with Werner Herzog, and being the subject of a documentary. We delve into his father's perspective on making 'Burden of Dreams' and details on the new 4K version, along with reflections on the relationship between fathers, sons, and chickens.
