From my 16mm archives - I found this lost interview and performance by the late Jeff Healey with his high school band Blue Direction in a Canadian educational film about careers for kids graduating high school titled "Making It Young". It is likely his first filmed interview. The film explores many young Canadian people who are making their careers happen while they are still teenagers. I transferred this reel with my own Eiki Telecine. Enjoy!
