WHAT IS AN ICONOCLAST? John Besh

http://www.sundancechannel.com/iconoclasts John Besh answers the question: What is an Iconoclast?

In the "Iconoclasts: Wynton Marsalis + John Besh" episode of "Iconoclasts," musician and Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center Wynton Marsalis and chef John Besh are New Orleans natives who share a passion for their hometown. Both are committed to preserving and enriching the city's distinct culture and flavor, especially since the devastation in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Besh visits Marsalis in New York at Jazz at Lincoln Center and attends the Montreal Jazz Fest for Marsalis' performance of Congo Square. Then the two meet in New Orleans and visit Congo Square, the historic New Orleans gathering place that served as an inspiration for Wynton's music. They also survey the post-Katrina rebuilding effort and dine at Besh's restaurant La Provence. Directed by Bruce Sinofsky.

ICONOCLASTS airs Thursdays at 10pm on Sundance Channel.

if that's what an "iconoclast" is then you aren't even close to being one or knowing one. Especially if you're making films for sundance or anywhere else
