After working for years in the salt mines of legendary punk rock record label SST, Gary Hustwit went on to produce rockmentaries like "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart," about the band Wilco. A few years back he debuted as a director with "Helvetica," about the ubiquitous font, and now he's back with "Objectified," his thought-provoking film about the design of objects. Rico talks with Gary about surfboards, potato peelers and, of course, the secret recipe for Honeybaked hams.
