A fun BEHIND THE LENS show for you this week as we take a look at two very different action films – one in present day and another in the medieval era – thanks to my exclusive interviews with writer\/director STEVE BARNETT talking VALIANT ONE and writer\/director\/editor MATTHEW NINABER talking A KNIGHT\u2019S WAR. Both are terrific and made with patience and a great deal of thought, research, and attention to authenticity.<\/p>\n

Plus, I’ve got a little update on our friend, FRANK MEYER, and his debut single which is out now and the album he’s got cooking that will release in March.<\/p>\n

First up is my exclusive interview with writer\/director STEVE BARNETT discussing VALIANT ONE, an often nail-biting edge-of-your-seat action flick based on a true story and the premise of “What If?” – what if the leaders or special ops members of a military mission that lands in enemy territory die, and it\u2019s left to the surviving lower ranking team members and civilian specialists to figure out how to get out of enemy territory and survive, and maybe even complete the mission? Here, the “what if” involves a US military team intending to land in South Korea but crashes on the North Korean side leaving survivors to work together to protect a civilian tech specialist and find their way out without the help of US military support.<\/p>\n

A veteran producer, VALIANT ONE marks Steve’s directorial debut. An interesting conversation in which we discuss casting, visual grammar, location, collaboration with cinematographer Dan Stilling, Andrew Leven’s editing, Benjamin Backus’ score, and above all, authenticity.<\/p>\n

A VALIANT ONE is in theatres now.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
