Featuring special guests: MATT COOPER and NADIA LITZ.

btl-9-19-2016

First up is writer/director/producer MATT COOPER talking the over-the-top, side-splitting, tears-rolling-down-cheeks hilarity of IS THAT A GUN IN YOUR POCKET?. . . (with Cloris Leachman in the cast how can it not be funny!). Tackling timely and topical events as if ripped from the headlines of today, screenwriters and filmmakers will find Matt’s 19-year journey of interest as he talks about walking the comedic line of entertainment with serious subject matter and bringing his vision to life through production and casting.

Then listen as writer/director NADIA LITZ talks about her sophomore feature, the intoxicatingly haunting THE PEOPLE GARDEN. While Matt’s IS THAT A GUN IN YOUR POCKET?. . . is a non-stop, dialogue-filled and fueled ride, THE PEOPLE GARDEN is polar opposite, built upon the deliberateness of the moment and the ambient silence of mystery and reflection. Hear Nadia talk about her inspiration for THE PEOPLE GARDEN, as well as her writing and production process.
