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?

A wonderful fun-filled show this week on BEHIND THE LENS as I get to celebrate the remarkable work of two very talented longtime friends, writer/director DAVE BOYLE and actor/producer KELLY GRANT. First up is my prerecorded exclusive interview with writer/director Dave Boyle going in-depth discussing his smash hit Netflix series HOUSE OF NINJAS! Known best for his films, diving into an eight-episode series – shot in Japan and in Japanese – is new territory for Dave and he more than delivers. Knowing Dave since his first film 18 years ago, with all he's done as a director, writer, writer/director, HOUSE OF NINJAS outshines everything that's come before! However, a real joy for me is seeing his steady growth as a filmmaker and storyteller, which brings him to this moment and this series. In the first half of the interview, we break down story, character, and casting (including cat labor laws in Japan) before moving into the technical aspect of the series production. And then we hop into the Easter spirit a bit early as actor/producer KELLY GRANT is live talking about her new film, the fun-filled and bloody horror comedy EASTER BLOODY EASTER; her first feature as a producer and a lead actor. A horror comedy with a killer jackalope and killer rabbits, this is one film you want to find in your Easter basket this year. Listen as Kelly and I delve into her work producing and acting in this lo budget/no budget/micro budget treat as well as her thoughts on acting, self-taping, and the ever-changing film/television/theatre landscape. It is the perfect conversation for those new to the profession or just wanting to glean information to up your own game. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
