Interview with Brent Wilson director of the new doo-wop documentary Streetlight Harmonies!
Interview with Eric Roberts about his new film Inside The Rain.College film student Benjamin Glass (Aaron Fisher) has it all: ADHD, OCD, borderline personality. And he¹s also bipolar. But Glass is more than his diagnoses he prefers the term ³recklessly extravagant² -- and he¹s determined to prove his genius. When a misunderstanding threatens to expel him from college, Glass pushes back; he plans on recreating the incident on video, with the help of a moonlighting sex worker (Ellen Toland), to clear his name. But how will he raise the money for the film, when his parents dismiss the scheme as another manic episode?Inside the Rain is a wincingly funny rom-com-drama, anchored by off- kilter performances by co-stars Fisher and Toland. The colorful ensemble cast includes Rosie Perez as a tough love shrink, Eric Roberts as an unhinged film producer, and Catherine Curtin and Paul Schulze as the long-suffering parents. The ultimate underdog film and proof that if you believe in yourself, anything is possible.
