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. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole? Presenting The Class of 1989, a new limited-run series from pop culture critics Len Webb and Vincent Williams, hosts ...

After much live on-air jiggering and juggling due to studio technical issues, BEHIND THE LENS came together with our wonderful guests AARON MURTAGH talking about his short film MAN BABY and editor NICK PEZZOLLI discussing his two new films BUTCHER'S CROSSING and YOUR LUCKY DAY. And because of the studio technical issues, you also get my exclusive interview with director NEIL BURGER talking about his latest, THE MARSH KING'S DAUGHTER. We kick off the show with my exclusive interview with director NEIL BURGER talking about his new film THE MARSH KING'S DAUGHTER. A rich slow-burn starring Daisy Ridley and an award-worthy turn by Ben Mendelsohn. Next up is filmmaker AARON MURTAGH talking about his new short film MAN BABY. Wearing multiple hats as actor, writer, director (his first directorial effort), and producer, Aaron's approach to the short and most notably the story is a personal one that utilizes the Covid-19 lockdown and the birth of his first child to create this unique – and slightly creepy – tale. Then editor NICK PEZZILLO joins us live to discuss his two new projects – BUTCHER'S CROSSING and YOUR LUCKY DAY. Talk about films as different as night and day! And yet, Nick proves himself to be en editorial storyteller with each film. Breaking out the two films Nick talks about the challenges of each, be it the panoramic landscapes and logistics and natural lighting of BUTCHER'S CROSSING or the limited, controlled – and often claustrophobic – convenience store location of YOUR LUCKY DAY. A wonderful editor and storyteller and a really fun, nice guy, listen this interview, see these two films, and put NICK PEZZILLO on your radar. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
