(August 23, 2005)

It is always an honor to interview people who have made a difference in the entertainment industry and in the Christian film/music industry as well. As VideosForFamily.com continues to celebrates the 5 year anniversary of the web site, I am please to give you all yet another interview! I invite you to listen to a yet another wonderful interview this time with-- Robert Baum, Great Grandson of L. Frank Baum who gave us "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". Sometimes it seems personally to me, like you never know what interview is coming up next at VideosForFamily.com Sometimes is a shock to me to find out who I am to actually get to 'agree' to participate in an interview for my site. It's going to be exciting how many other interviews like this I will be able to conduct in the future.

In this five part interview with Robert A. Baum, he gives some very interesting information about his Great Grandfather's legacy and work. Robert also shares about the influence that the Oz books and the movie (The Wizard of Oz) has had on people today and over the past number of years.

During the filming of the 1990s TV-Movie, "THE DREAMER OF OZ", Robert and the Baum family had spent a great deal of time and work on the set and with the movie as well. Robert has followed in the footsteps of L. Frank Baum and has also written several Oz books for children. He also travels and teaches about the Oz to children, and the movie as Oz historian. In this interview you will hear a number of interesting facts and words from Robert about the movie, and some of the things that went on during the coarse the movie was being filmed. Thank you Robert again so much for your time, and effort in answering the questions I had asked you! (especially your enthusiasm and great joy for your family history) Enjoy everyone, in as we all continue to celebrate the 5 year anniversary for Videos For The Family!
