This week on BEHIND THE LENS we dig deep into what lies beneath Guy Nattiv’s new film SKIN with an exclusive interview with JAMIE BELL. A brutally visceral and emotionally powerful film, SKIN is based on the true story of a young man trying to leave a Neo-Nazi supremacist group and start a better life for himself. Beyond timely and topical in today’s volatile sociopolitically charged climate, Jamie pulls no punches as he talks about the film and finding the truth within his character, Bryan Widner. Listen as Jamie talks about producer Oren Moverman and coming on board this project, working with director Guy Nattiv, discussions with Widner as a means to ensure the authenticity of the story and Widner’s journey, as well as walking the emotional line of a man leaving one life behind for a different future. And although this is a very heavy dramatic film, Jamie regales us with some lighter moments of working with “Boss”, a very talented and very large Rottweiler.
Then writer/director/editor ADAM MARINO joins us live at the midpoint of the show talking about his new film RING RING. A thriller with a side of terror, Adam goes in-depth about his casting process – including nabbing the original Hulk – Lou Ferrigno – as both a producer and actor, location scouting and finding the perfect house and making it a character in the film, cinematography, the score and finding the balance within the film, sequel potential, and more!
And what about those MCU reveals at Comic-Con, not to mention AVENGERS: ENDGAME truly becoming king of the box office world!
