BEHIND THE LENS #229: Featuring Valerie McCaffrey

A very interesting episode of BEHIND THE LENS as we take a look at an important moment in history thanks to our special guest, writer/director VALERIE McCAFFREY, who joins us at the mid-point of the show talking about her new short film – DIRTY BOMB. Based on true events of WWII involving the V-2 rockets and sabotage by prisoners at Mittelbau-Dora Concentration Camp who were forced to manufacture the bombs, this is a little known story but one with personal resonance for Valerie. A renowned casting director, Valerie continues to dip her toe into the waters of writing and directing telling impactful and important stories. DIRTY BOMB is one of them. Listen as Valerie talks about her personal connection to this story, her research process in order to attain historical accuracy in story and in visuals, securing locations, seasonal shoots, production design and costume authenticity, and casting, particularly in casting Ido Samuel. But before Valerie joins us, take a listen to our exclusive interview with writers/directors SCOTT BECK & BRYAN WOODS as we go in-depth talking about the twisted and terrifying HAUNT! http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
