It's another taut and tense episode of BEHIND THE LENS as writer/director/actor JEFF KNITE joins us live discussing his latest entry in the horror realm – THE OMICRON KILLER. Plus, you'll hear my exclusive interview with the incredible BARRY PEPPER talking about his latest film BRING HIM TO ME and more! Long on my bucket list of talent to interview is BARRY PEPPER and after many decades we finally get to chat and about a film that truly speaks to what Barry brings to the table with every film and performance. Take a listen as we discuss the action-packed pot-boiler BRING HIM TO ME, having a car as a character co-star, doing his own stunt work, working on indie films, and more. Plus, we delve into Barry's approach to roles and his considerations in choosing them, some or his prior catalogue (including Crawl!) and we even take a look back at one of Barry's best performances in a film as timely as ever, Bitter Harvest. Then listen as writer/director/actor JEFF KNITE talks about his new film THE OMICRON KILLER; the tale of a retired copycat serial killer who emerges from "retirement" seeking vengeance. An interesting concept. An interesting discussion with Jeff. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
