It’s a picture perfect episode of BEHIND THE LENS thanks to our special guests, director MELANIE MAYRON, legendary actor and Oscar nominee PIPER LAURIE, and actor BROOKE ADAMS. Plus, a pre-recorded exclusive interview with director MARC TURTLETAUB!
Bookending this episode of #BTLRadioShow are excerpts of our exclusive interview with director MARC TURTLETAUB as he talks about his new film PUZZLE. Best known as a producer of cinematic gems like “Little Miss Sunshine”, “Sunshine Cleaning”, “Laws of Attraction”, and “Safety Not Guaranteed”, Marc now steps into the feature film director’s chair for the second time in his career with PUZZLE. An exquisitely and subtly crafted film, PUZZLE is a perfect showcase for Kelly Macdonald, who delivers an Oscar-caliber performance as our protagonist Agnes while smoldering opposite Irrfan Khan. Listen as Marc talks about the importance of this story and how Oren Moverman’s script drew him back into directing, plus the timeliness and emotional texture of PUZZLE and the coming-of-age of a woman “of a certain age”.
And then we have three very special ladies joining us for the bulk of the show – MELANIE MAYRON, PIPER LAURIE, and BROOKE ADAMS – who talk about their new film SNAPSHOTS. A multi-generational story about mothers and daughters, secrets, love, and loss, all three of these ladies are not only fascinating but fun. Much like the film itself, revelations and “snapshots” abound within our conversation that go beyond SNAPSHOTS the film as Melanie talks about her directorial styling and approach to storytelling, Piper reveals her skills as a fisherperson, and Brooke talks about her friendships on and off the screen with Melanie and Piper. You will love listening to these legendary ladies!
