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.

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.
