In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide.

It's a bit of a mixed bag on this episode of BEHIND THE LENS as we hear from writer/director/actor BRIAN PRESLEY talking his new film HOSTILE TERRITORY. Plus my thoughts on DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS. . .and madness it is indeed, and then a little tease on the riveting new HBO Max limited series THE STAIRCASE. Then, my exclusive interview with writer/director/actor BRIAN PRESLEY talking about his new film, HOSTILE TERRITORY. A film set in post-Civil War United States, Brian brings some oft-forgotten pieces of history to the forefront (the Orphan Trains and Company K) in a heartfelt, and action-packed story of a family torn apart by war and the fallout from that war. Built around fascinating pieces of history, a compelling and often nail-biting story, solid performances, and beautiful lensing in the rugged Colorado wilderness during winter, HOSTILE TERRITORY is a "must see." Take a listen as Brian and I go in-depth into the "making of" HOSTILE TERRITORY. And how about a little tease on the new limited series now airing on HBO Max – THE STAIRCASE? Based on a true story, the series is riveting and boasts an award-worthy performance by Colin Firth. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
