Writer/Director JEFF FRY is back with us live talking about his WWII short film KRIEG and some upcoming film festivals where you can catch this amazing film. Listen as Jeff talks about his search for the perfect international cast, locating authentic uniforms, planes, vehicles and other equipment, overcoming the challenges of thefts of rare original items which forced him to build a WWII radio similar to that used by the Resistance, the ten-year process of script to screen, as well as research into the military aspects of the war from the perspective of the Nazis, Allies and Resistance fighters. A Herculean undertaking that pays off in spades when you see the end product. And you'll hear excerpts of our exclusive interview with director NEIL BURGER talking about the #1 box office movie - THE UPSIDE!  Last week you heard what Kevin Hart had to say about tackling a more dramatic role with more sobering and restrained humor.  Now hear what his director has to say.  Covering everything from what made him accept the challenge to remake an internationally acclaimed and well-received film ("The Intouchables") but with his own vision, to cinematography and production design, to the research that went into exacting as authentic as possible portrayal of a quadriplegic and that of his aides, Neil goes in-depth on all. Unfortunately, we ran out of time and didn't get to our exclusive interview with costume designer SANDY POWELL and production designer JOHN MHYRE talking about the magic of MARY POPPINS RETURNS, but you can listen to it now on www.BehindTheLensOnline.net.http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

BEHIND THE LENS #197: Featuring Jeff Fry

Frances Causey

History unfolds on this episode of BEHIND THE LENS as we welcome writer/director/cinematographer JEFF FRY and writer/director FRANCES CAUSEY to talk about their latest films, plus we've got our prerecorded exclusive interview with director JOSIE ROURKE! First up, take a listen to director JOSIE ROURKE as she talks about making her feature directorial debut with MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS. From being the first female artistic director at a London theatre to directing a film for the big screen is quite a leap in and of itself, but to tackle an historical piece such as MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS complete with a cast of hundreds, full crew, and helicopter shots as your first feature is something else. With a philosophy of "go big or go home", Josie gives us some insight into the "making of" and what that entailed for her vision. Then JEFF FRY joins us live talking about his directorial debut with the "American Foreign Language" and Academy-qualified live-action short (40 min) film, KRIEG. In French and German with English subtitles, KRIEG is a unique story set in WWII Europe, Jeff delves behind the typical POV of black and white battles of good versus evil and blurs the line of war on the battlefield and in the hearts of those fighting. Focusing on an American aviator shot down in the mountains of Germany, a Waffen SS unit and one soldier with a solo mission, and a pair of allies in the French Underground, all converge and intersect in a compelling story. Listen as Jeff talks about the genesis of the story, the importance of authenticity with everything from clothes to vehicles to the underground radio and the challenges associated with each, the decision to use film and the Panavision cameras and lenses selected in order to visually craft the story. Last up in this episode of #BTLRadioShow is former CNN journalist, writer/director FRANCES CAUSEY who talks about her latest documentary, THE LONG SHADOW. A fascinating and educational history of slavery in the United States and its impact on our economy and political system, Frances talks about not only her research process but developing her through line, starting with the personalization of the film and her uncle six-times removed, Edmund Pendleton who served as Virginia's governor in 1775-1776 and crafted verbiage into Virginia's governing documents and ultimately that of the United States which institutionalized slavery. Bringing history to the forefront and including events of the present, you'll find Frances' process of connecting the dots enriching and interesting.http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
