Very unique exploration for those who live outside the box. It's a documentary about dressed out cars and the people who make them. But, it is much more than a story about cars, it's a celebration of creativity and artistic expression. The artwork, history and general wackiness of the vehicles - from cars shaped like hamburgers to those used for political statements - is engaging. Who woulda thunk?
What if you could morph your car into a mobile work of art, and drive it down the road for all to see? What would it look like? What would the world think of you? How would you be changed? AUTOMORPHOSIS looks into the minds and hearts of a delightful collection of eccentrics, visionaries, and just plain folks who have transformed their autos into artworks. On a humorous and touching journey, we discover what drives the creative process for these unconventional characters. And in the end, we find that an art car has the power to change us -- to alter our view of our increasingly homogeneous world. Subjects featured include: Harrod Blank and his Camera Van; World-renowned spoon bender Uri Geller and his fork-and-spoon-covered "Peace Car"; Howard Davis's "Telephone Car" an obsession-driven telephone collection; & Leonard Knight, a religious folk artist who's painted his vehicles as well as most of an entire mountain in the desert as a testament to his faith. Created by Harrod Blank, an art car artist, filmmaker, photographer and co-organizer of the annual ArtCar Fest.
