A powerful and insightful BEHIND THE LENS this week thanks to special guests AMY FOX and RACHEL CROWL as we explore their current projects, plus look at societal inequity in film and television through a transgender lens.
Joining us in the first half of the show is AMY FOX, political activist and writer/producer/actress/showrunner of THE SWITCH, the first transgender sitcom in television history. Breaking the mold and setting precedent, the show features transgender actors in transgender roles, a hot button topic today and one which we’re talking about. Fully fleshed out and three-dimensional characters battle the foibles of life, providing fuel for the funny in this original and innovative show. Listen as Amy talks about developing the show, and specifically, each of the characters and their universal appeal.
At the half-hour mark, the multi-talented RACHEL CROWL joins us fresh off her debut feature film performance in the LAFF award-winning AND THEN THERE WAS EVE. Actor, musician and photographer, Rachel’s work spans the mediums from improv to singing to music videos to scoring to off-Broadway theatre (including playing Dracula at the Pendragon Theatre in NYC!) to creating 3D fly-throughs of Manhattan! Plus, get the scoop on her upcoming EP album and her photographic essay on the “gut laugh.”
