I can’t imagine a better way to wrap up 2015 and the first year of BEHIND THE LENS than with two incredible guests – actor and now writer/director, Eddie Jemison, and producer/director Nick Fitzhugh.
At the quarter hour mark take a listen as Eddie Jemison and I talk about his directorial debut, KING OF HERRINGS. Solid storytelling and standout performances, most notably by Jemison’s real life and on-screen wife Laura Lamson, are a hallmark of this film as Eddie and I talk about his inspiration, his 25-year friendship with his co-stars and the art of directing. One of my favorite guests of the year, I can’t wait for Eddie to join me again.
Shifting gears at the half hour mark, producer/director/cinematographer/showrunner Nick Fitzhugh is live talking with me about one of the most indelible television mini-series to come around in a long time – CONFLICT. A six-part miniseries focusing on the roots of human conflict as seen through the eyes of some of the world’s best conflict photographers, CONFLICT embeds itself on your conscience. Nick’s insight into the project, its genesis and its future direction is not to be missed.
And then there’s Tarantino, Quentin Tarantino. Take a listen to some excerpts of what Quentin had to say at the recent press conference for THE HATEFUL EIGHT about his use of Ultra Panavision and shooting in 70mm! (Programing Note: Tune in LIVE to our January 4, 2016 show for more on THE HATEFUL EIGHT when you’ll hear my exclusive interviews with producer Richard Gladstein and editor Fred Raskin.)
