BEHIND THE LENS #524: Featuring Jay Silverman

Last week was all about Tribeca Film Festival on BEHIND THE LENS and some wonderful animated short films that had their premieres there. This week it's all about Dances With Films, which starts this week on June 18 and runs through June 28 at the TCL Chinese Theatre complex in Hollywood. And there are some great films for you to look forward to seeing, starting with the opening night film – the world premiere of YALE from director JAY SILVERMAN. I love this film! YALE is based on a true story about screenwriter Van Billet’s maternal grandfather. When he first learned about his family lore as a young teen, he couldn't believe it was true and knew he had to write about it. YALE is directed by Jay Silverman and written by Van Billet and stars Kevin Dunn, Caitlin McGee, Kathleen Gati, Rachael Harris, Dominic Leeder, Nene Nwoko, and Benjamin Mackey. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
