Olson Wells: "The One Man Band" was filmed in collaboration with Wells' long-term partner, Oja Kodar, and is a captivating glimpse into the last years of this extraordinary character. In 1985, when Wells passed away, he left behind a large number of unedited movies and clips for Kodar. Granting exclusive access to archives that Wales has never seen before, and extracting materials from nearly two tons of film jars containing fragments, short films, project ideas, and sketches, filmmakers, led by Kodar, have completed Wales's rich but unrealized legacy. Wells is far from the pessimistic and arrogant mark that Hollywood sometimes gives him. He has become a versatile creator here, sometimes fragile and lonely, but always steadfastly optimistic and innovative.
