Jim Blashfield

A master of whimsical surrealism in film, Jim Blashfield was born in 1945 in Portland, Oregon, USA. Active from the 1960s onward, he is renowned for his unique style of combining live-action and animation, focusing on the genres of music videos and short films, with his most famous works including Talking Heads' "And She Was" and Michael Jackson's "Leave Me Alone", for which he won a Grammy Award.
