Energy and How to Get It

Energy and How to Get It

What began as a documentary film about Robert Golka, an engineer who admired Tesla and experimented with ball lightnings and fusion as an energy force, was turned into a magnificent spoof on the genre. William Burroughs becomes an Energy Czar and avant-garde filmmaker Robert Downey becomes a Hollywood agent!
