BEHIND THE LENS #248: Featuring Paul Osborne, Patrick Day, Drew Mylrea and drew Van Acker

Awards season may be over but film continues on and so does BEHIND THE LENS! Talk about a fun post-awards season/post-Oscars/post-Spirits show! #BTLRadioShow is jam-packed and fun-filled thanks to four very special guests as we sprinkle some Valentine's love on two new films opening this week. After a recap of the weekend's final awards ceremonies - the Academy Awards and the Film Independent Spirit Awards - we welcome our first pair of guests - writer/director/editor PAUL OSBORNE and, returning for his second time to BTL, actor PATRICK DAY discussing their latest film CRUEL HEARTS. What would you do if you were sitting at work, minding your own business, going over financials, and a man sits down next to you and says, "I've been sleeping with your wife."? And that's what kicks off CRUEL HEARTS; a noir film that boasts a smart and smartly constructed script, nice production values, a beautiful visual texture, keen editing, and terrific performances starting with Patrick Day. As you listen to our conversation and the collaborative jovial dynamic between Paul and Patrick, you'll understand why the film is so well done. Then we've got some more love to share with director DREW MYLREA and actor/producer DREW VAN ACKER and their film SPY INTERVENTION. Opening on Valentine's Day in theatres and on VOD, SPY INTERVENTION reinvents the spy thriller in parody form a la "Batman" 1966 while adding a bit of rom com, using visuals to poke fun at the genre and itself while solid serious grounded performances are led by Drew Van Acker as we find out what happens when a spy picks marriage, track lighting, and dinner parties over the excitement of being a spy. Or does he? In a word, SPY INTERVENTION is FUN . . . and funny! And so are "The Drews". http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
