It’s a devil of a good time on BEHIND THE LENS this week with writer/director Joe Pepitone and actress Jaime Ray Newman talking the hilarious comedy THE JERSEY DEVIL, and the compelling psychological thriller ALTERED MINDS, respectively!
Fans of Jaime Ray Newman already know her from her extensive credits in film and tv, including “Red Widow”, “Drop Dead Diva”, “Mind Games”, and, of course, “General Hospital”. Knowing Jaime’s work, you’ll enjoy hearing about her latest film, ALTERED MINDS from writer/director Michael Wechsler, and working with co-stars Ryan O’Nan and Judd Hirsch. And for all you “General Hospital” fans out there, take a listen as Jaime answers the burning question: Who’s more terrifying? Judd Hirsch as Dr. Nathaniel Shellner in ALTERED MINDS or, Constance Towers as Helena Cassadine in GH!
At the half way point of the show, you’ll hear one of the most fun and most engaging guests we’ve ever had – writer/director Joe Pepitone – who regales us with stories about “the making of” THE JERSEY DEVIL. And Joe gets his own “burning” question to answer for you as to the inspiration for the film: Why would the Devil pick New Jersey for the new home of Hell?
Plus, I’ll talk about some of the Oscar nominations and you’ll hear my exclusive Oscar morning phone call with Phyllis Nagy, nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay for CAROL , as well as a snippet of my chat with Lon Bender, Oscar nominee for Best Sound Editing for his work on THE REVENANT.
