We’re taking a look at life, love, and death in this week’s BEHIND THE LENS with special guest writer/director ANNA ELIZABETH JAMES talking about her new film, DEADLY ILLUSIONS. Plus, hear our exclusive interview with writer/director SEBASTIAN SIEGEL talking about the emotionally powerful GRACE AND GRIT.
Joining us live is writer/director ANNA ELIZABETH JAMES talking about her delicious new film, DEADLY ILLUSIONS. Starring Kristin Davis as a bestselling female novelist suffering from writer’s block who becomes spellbound by her children’s caregiver, things take a dangerous turn as writer Morrison begins to indulge in the fantasies of her latest bestseller in a blurring of the lines between fantasy and reality. Listen as Anna talks about the inspiration for the film, the importance of casting not only Kristin Davis but Greer Grammer and their necessary dynamic as the driving force of the film, working with cinematographer Mike McMillin to establish the perfect visual tonal bandwidth, editing, establishing pacing that creates and fuels ambiguity and mystery, scoring, and more.
But first, take a listen to our prerecorded exclusive interview with writer/director SEBASTIAN SIEGEL talking about the emotionally powerful story GRACE AND GRIT. Based on the true story of Treya and Ken Wilber and adapted by Sebastian from Ken’s book chronicling Treya’s journal entries through her battle with cancer, a battle buoyed by Ken and Treya’s transcendent love, this is a film and interview not to be missed.
