Hold on to your stethoscopes folks because we’ve got a real treat for all the General Hospital fans out there with this episode of BEHIND THE LENS as we welcome PARRY SHEN live at the top of the show followed by writer/director JASON RICHARD MILLER with Parry and Jason talking about their new film MADELINES!
And yes, while Parry and I do talk about the latest trouble his GH character Brad Cooper is getting into with his Aunt Selina, the primary focus of our conversation is Parry’s new film – MADELINES! A time-traveling sci-fi thriller starring Parry along with Brea Grant (who has been on #BTLRadioShow before talking about her directorial “Night Shift”) and the legendary Richard Riehle, MADELINES is a true indie gem that I can’t recommend highly enough.
SYNOPSIS” “Madeline and Owen are privately funded scientists who have just discovered time travel by sending an orange 1 minute into the future. After Owen pushes to do a mouse test that fails horribly, Madeline decides to fine-tune the time machine and test it on herself. The experiment seems to be a success until Owen is attacked by a copy of Madeline that shows up in their backyard. After accidentally killing the Madeline copy, Owen and Madeline discover that there was a mistake in the software code which resulted in a loop. After some quick math, Madeline and Owen realize that a new copy of Madeline will appear in their backyard every day for the next 9 years if they don’t figure out a way to fix it. Owen decides that they need to kill each Madeline when they show up to prevent a time paradox which could destroy the universe and their marriage.”
Take a listen and you’ll not only hear some #GH intel (Parry is already looking forward to April 1, 2023 and GH’s 60th birthday) as well as how daily soap work prepares you for indie films like MADELINES, but Parry dives into discussions on his preparation for a role, what he looks for when a script comes his way (note to casting agents and directors – when you think action, think of Parry Shen), some of his early television work like “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” and “Tru Calling” and the ups and downs of the business, as well as his voicing on video games including mo-cap work, and so much more. And as for MADELINES, Parry goes into detail about working with his two co-stars Brea Grant and Richard Riehle, finding the right tone for his character, and working with writer/director Jason Miller in bringing this film to life.
And then MADELINES’ writer/director JASON RICHARD MILLER joins us and we really get down and dirty into the “making of” MADELINES with everything from the visual complexity of MADELINES, in-camera effects, a fascinating and fresh story, some really nice production values and cinematography, working with his terrific trio of a cast and more!
