From the Producers: "Hans Olson: Stronger Than The Devil" is in high-definition format featuring local blues artist Hans Olson. It is presented here, as a sample of a proposed series of video documentaries called ‘AZ You Like It.’ The series will feature residents of Arizona who come from all walks of life. These individuals all share one common characteristic - passion. They each possess a love, a desire or a vision that drives them to perform and express themselves in remarkable ways. The series will showcase persons engaged in activities that are life affirming and which ultimately uphold a sense of community."
Lowell Hollars sent me the info about Olson's documentary. In Lowell's words: "I saw a great 25 minute documentary about Hans Olson on You Tube. It's 25 minutes long but well worth watching. The documentary was done in 2006. You may recognize that some of the musical scenes were filmed at Pranksters Too in Scottsdale. Stephen Michael Barnes and Uriel Jeremiah of Cinesilencia produced the video with Hans Olson. It's part of a special TV project they are working on. Cinesilencia uploaded the video to You Tube; Hans is aware that the documentary is on You Tube; I've talked with him about it."
Since Hans rarely toots his own horn his friends need to do it for him, and Lowell thought the KCAC blog might like to post it. Absolutely! Lowell says there are other Hans Olson videos on You Tube dating back to 1985. To view them on You Tube, just go to You Tube and type in a search for 'Hans Olson'
