Things get “fast and furry” on BEHIND THE LENS this week as we welcome the filmmakers for the crime comedy STEVIE-D and the documentary FURSONAS.

First up is writer/director/actor CHRIS CORDONE and one of my favorite character actors, SPENCER GARRETT, who are talking the noir-ish comedy STEVIE-D. Written and directed by Cordone, who stars in a dual role, laughs and twists and turns abound as Cordone surrounds himself with some veteran talent while delivering a solidly constructed and entertaining film. A fascinating look and listen with terrific insight from Chris as a multi-hat-wearing filmmaker and from Spencer, who provides keen commentary on the filmmaking process for STEVIE-D as well as the film industry.
