Episode 071: “Chameleon Street” director Wendell B. Harris, Jr.

The first feature from Wendell B. Harris Jr. (Chameleon Street) won the grand jury prize at Sundance in 1990. He has yet to be given the opportunity to make a follow-up. In this epic interview Harris shares the lessons gleaned from a life inside and outside of Hollywood, from his meetings with legends like Orson Welles and Chester Himes, to the project he has been working on since “Chameleon Street”, a documentary called “Yeshua Vs. Frankenstein In 3D/G-Speak”.

How is the world wrong about Wendell B. Harris, Jr.?

From Andras Jones: I knew when I watched “Chameleon Street” that its writer, director and star was an important artist but after talking with him for over 7 hours (cut down to the three and half hours for this episode) it’s clear to me that Wendell B. Harris Jr is as vital as ever, and sitting on several scripts and projects that remain ahead of their time today.
