Behind The Lens Radio Show – 12/17/2018

 

BEHIND THE LENS wraps up its fourth year on Adrenaline Radio and 2018 with an awards bang!

Take a listen as we talk about the Golden Globe-nominated MARY POPPINS RETURNS with our exclusive interview with lead animated character designer JAMES WOODS.  You’ll be fascinated as James talks about creating 137 animated characters, working with legendary 2d Disney animators, and the magic of Mary Poppins.  And did you know it takes 24 drawings to create one second of animated footage?  Plus, production designer JOHN MYHRE talks exclusively with BTL about what is clearly his favorite giddy-with-glee piece of magic created by his team – Mary Poppins’ talking parrot head umbrella! And director Rob Marshall talks about finding the balance between the touchstones from the 1964 film and melding them with the new magic of MARY POPPINS RETURNS.

Producer BENJAMIN WIESSNER is live at the midpoint of the show talking about the Film Independent Spirit Award Nominee THUNDER ROAD! Already lauded at film festivals around the globe, THUNDER ROAD is now nominated for the prestigious John Cassavetes Award which is awarded to the best feature made for under $500,000 and is given to the writer, director, and producer.  Benjamin provides some wonderful insight into the art of producing and distribution which filmmakers will most certainly appreciate.

Plus some end of year moviegoing tips for you – MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS and STAN & OLLIE, among them!
