In CDMX: A showing of Les Blank’s film Burden of Dreams at Cine Tonalá, attended by Maureen Gosling, Blank’s film editor, and Harrod Blank, his son.

Burden of Dreams chronicles Werner Herzog and crew’s difficult nearly 5 year journey filming FITZCARRALDO. Highly recommend!!!

"I think the people pick up on my very protective feelings toward them, and they aren't self-conscious about what they do or say, and they try to show the inner light about themselves that I find so attractive."
