“Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else’s dreams?” 

On the season finale of Remainders, we discuss Tim Burton’s classic 1994 film Ed Wood. A story of creative expression and a love letter to Burton’s idol, Ed Wood’s status as “World’s Worst Director” only grows with prestige and envy over time. Ed Wood and Bela Lugosi (brilliantly played by Johnny Depp and Martin Landau) inspire and drive each other to leave their mark on Hollywood. Wood’s films included Glen or Glenda, Plan 9 From Outer Space, and among countless other Z-grade schlock in horror and sci-fi. 

A true original, his ambition was far greater than his talent. But it was that originality and drive that caught the attention of similar misanthrope Tim Burton, who created his most personal and auto-biographical film. Similarly, we discuss the ways drive is essential in the creative process, and how that has helped us along the way in life and in art. Join us as we close our season with an endlessly inspiring story of creative originality.
