A Lot More With Les– Les Blank comes from a conversation with legendary documentary filmmaker Les Blank at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival in Missoula, Montana in 2007.
Les Blank is best known for poetic films that transform folk cultures into art forms. His soft spoken contemplative thoughts allows free flowing revelations. That was one of the most laid back conversations I had and one of my favorites. So, in honor of Les and the last work-in-progress he had to show– about Tea– I have a cup of tea ready, and honestly, he has inspired me to get cracking on a project that’s been hung up for one reason or another. It’s especially true about the familiarity, where sometimes you can’t get past a roadblock in your head to get the job done. As Les puts it – if you want to be a filmmaker, or anything for that matter, you’ll find a way to do it. Words I live by, thanks Les.
Les Blank died in April 2013.
