BEHIND THE LENS #509: Featuring Kevin Lewis

I'm very excited about this week's BEHIND THE LENS and my special guest, director KEVIN LEWIS. This marks Kevin's third appearance on #BTLRadioShow, following the brilliantly bonkers WILLY'S WONDERLAND and PIG HILL. Still, this time we're talking about his new film MISDIRECTION, which, in many respects, is a big departure from the horror films you've come to know and love from Kevin. Set over one long night in a glass-walled modern house, MISDIRECTION follows a couple driven to carry out a series of high-end heists to pay off a dangerous mob debt. When their latest break-in — targeting a prominent defense attorney — spirals out of control, the pair find themselves caught in a web of secrets, deception, and deadly consequences. Directed by Kevin Lewis and written by Lacy McClory, MISDIRECTION stars Frank Grillo, Olga Kurylenko, and Oliver Trevana. MISDIRECTION is a completely new style for Kevin. It's a bold, different work in his filmography. So used to seeing horror films from him, he dazzles with this neo-noirish home-invasion crime thriller, which begs the question, how does directing a contained non-horror film like MISDIRECTION differ from multi-location films like "Pig Hill" and "Willy's Wonderland"? With some time to spare this week, I've also got some fun, female-centric Oscar trivia for you about the 98th Academy Awards. And while you can see MISDIRECTION on digital, make sure to hit the theatre to check out Luc Besson's DRACULA. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
