Send us a textIn this episode, Steven Pierce and Matt Mundy talk with the project's creators, screenwriters and director Luke Meyer and Keith Newton about their very personal docu-series, The Fourth Wall.For any filmmaker, telling the story and history of a cult with an ever-evolving facade, lead by a mercurial leader can not only take years, but can be difficult to pin down. And when said leader is your own father, it can be beyond daunting...becoming more and more personal as the layers are peeled back.Premiering at Tribeca Film Festival 2023, The Fourth Wall is "an intimate documentary series in which the son of cult leaders investigates the transgressive group in which he was raised. This is the story of the Sullivanians, New York’s secretive 'psychotherapy cult,' which was hidden in plain sight on Manhattan's Upper West Side in the 1970s and ’80s." - Tribecafilm.comTo stay in the loop about more releases and updates about this film, also check out: seethink.com as well as SeeThink’s Facebook or Instagram IFG | How Movies Get Made
