With it already Thanksgiving this week, it\u2019s time for BEHIND THE LENS (and all of you) to haul out the holly, put up the tree, fill up the stockings, and grab those dreidels because the holiday season is here! And what better way to kick off the Yuletide than to get into the spirit of the season with #BTLRadioShow, talking about two wonderful films and four fabulous filmmakers. So get ready as MARISA GUTERMAN and KEITH GERCHAK tell us all about their feature directorial debut, the charming and nostalgic LOST & FOUND IN CLEVELAND, while ZAC MONCRIEF and JON COLTON BARRY fill us with the fun and joy of Christmas with the animated delight, A CHUCK E. CHEESE CHRISTMAS. Can you believe there has never been a Chuck E. Cheese Christmas movie???<\/p>\n

Our first stop today is Cleveland with the wonderfully warm and toasty slice of Americana, LOST & FOUND IN CLEVELAND<\/strong><\/a>. A look at the American Dream set in \u201cthe best location in the nation\u201d, this is a slice of life set over a 24-hour period that follows the personal odysseys of five very different people, whose lives intertwine when America\u2019s favorite televised antiques appraisal show comes to Cleveland. A true tapestry of the heart of America, co-directors and co-writers MARISSA GUTERMAN and KEITH GERCHAK bring us a tale that shows us what is truly to be cherished in our lives.<\/p>\n

Boasting an amazing cast with Dennis Haysbert, Dot-Marie Jones, Esther Povitsky, Jeff Hiller, Jon Lovitz, June Squibb, Stacey Keach, Loretta Devine, Mark L. Walberg, Martin Sheen, Yvette Yates Redick, and the scene stealing Benjamin Steinhauser, the film spans the generations and all walks of life, this is a film that has something and someone for every age, every demographic, and fills you with the holiday spirit.<\/p>\n

As you listen to Marissa and Keith, they highlight the film\u2019s heartfelt portrayal of core moral values and Americana. The film, with its setting inspired by \u201cAntiques Roadshow\u201d, uses music and nostalgia to explore themes of self-worth and the American Dream. As they break it down for us, they discuss the 12-year production process in detail, including casting challenges and the importance of authenticity. Of course, discussing the outstanding work of cinematographer Davon Slininger and production designer Kristen Adams is mandatory, as both showcase the intimate storytelling and all of Cleveland’s unique charm. And we talk music and monologues and more.<\/p>\n

LOST & FOUND IN CLEVELAND<\/a> is in select theatres<\/em> via the Attend theatrical marketplace.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
