Directors Scott McGehee and David Siegel, author Sigrid Nunez, and cast members Naomi Watts, Sarah Pidgeon, Carla Gugino, Noma Dumezweni, Constance Wu, Owen Teague, and Bing join NYFF62 programmer Florence Almozini to discuss The Friend, a Spotlight selection at the 62nd New York Film Festival.

Your genial host Norm Wilner still doesn't understand how the Oscars overlooked that one.
It's a full house on this episode of BEHIND THE LENS as we welcome two multi-hyphenate indie filmmakers, CHRISTOPHER SCHRACK and DANIEL YOON, who discuss their new films, FOR SALE and EAST BAY, respectively, not to mention wearing a multitude of filmmaking hats during a production. First up, writer/director/DP/editor CHRISTOPHER SCHRACK joins us discussing his new film, the horror comedy FOR SALE. Get ready to laugh out loud and jump out of your skin as we enter the world of narcissist Mason McGinness as he navigates life celebrating himself and cheating people out of anything and everything to further his own gains. But the tables may turn on Mason when he tries tackling real estate and his boss gives him the company albatross of "murder house" to sell. Belieing a very limited budget, FOR SALE is solid filmmaking. Listen as Christopher goes in-depth talking about the various elements of production from location, making the house a character, casting, visual effects, using natural light as much as possible, score, and more. Then writer/director/editor/lead actor DANIEL YOON is on board to talk about his latest, EAST BAY, a very thoughtful and purposeful film that beautifully utilizes mixed visual grammar and musical composition to metaphorically elevate and engage an already solid story and outstanding performances. Listen as Daniel dives into the nuances of his cinematic storytelling style, character development, casting (including an early performance by Constance Wu before "Crazy Rich Asians"), editing, score, various visual tones and techniques, and more that bring EAST BAY to life, as well as discussing not only the challenges of wearing so many hats but the benefits of time (this film was started in 2010) in order to make this film. A very interesting conversation for filmmakers and those who want to learn more about what goes on "behind the lens". http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
What if I told you Hollywood isn't all it's cracked up to be? This week we read award-winning actress Constance Wu's memoir “Making a Scene” and it's, dare we say, pretty random. We discuss her time as a struggling actress, sex in Union Square, canceling a “Fresh Off the Boat” producer (and co-star backlash), owning a bunny, Mormon-owned coffee shops, not really talking about “Crazy Rich Asians,” theater kid drama, Michelle Yeoh dictating texts to her iPad, and Constance's many, many ex-boyfriends.

CHRISTY'S BIO This talk is a master class on the media & entertainment world and the disruptive forces changing it from someone who has been a media executive, trailblazing entrepreneur and Hollywood super-agent.

Brooks' “Spanglish,” starring Adam Sandler. Prior to that, she founded and served as CEO of Latina magazine in 1996 and quickly became the leading media platform for U.S. Hispanic women. A real trailblazer and Latina pioneer, she was the youngest woman to be inducted into the American Advertising Federation & Advertising Hall of Achievement and has been profiled and interviewed by numerous media outlets including CNN, NPR, NBC Nightly News, Elle magazine, Vogue, Vanity Fair and the Today Show. Recently, the Hollywood Reporter named her on their list of the Most Powerful Latinos in Hollywood. Born and raised in Texas, she is the Mexican-American daughter of adoptive parents, received her B.A. in Philosophy from the University of Texas at Austin and her law degree from Stanford Law School. President Obama appointed her to the Commission on White House Fellows. She also served on the board of Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine until its sale to Blackstone in 2021 and currently serves on the boards of Hudson Pacific Properties (NYSE: HPP) and Liberty Trip Advisor Holdings (NASDAQ: LTRPA).

Hustlers was always going to be a tough sell. Based on the true story of a group of strippers who conned rich, white men, writer and director Lorene Scafaria found herself trying to sell it to... rich white men, who were less than enthusiastic about it.The key was the involvement of Jennifer Lopez. Not only was it the casting of Scafaria's dreams, Lopez had the skill and connections to make the production a reality. She would also receive lavish praise for her performance as Ramona Vega, and the whole cast would achieve a newfound respect and admiration for strippers through the training they undertook to appear in the film.While the movie didn't garner the accolades many thought it should have, it's a wonderful time capsule of the late 2000s fashion and music of the era, and the dynamic between Constance Wu and Jennifer Lopez grounds it in heartbreaking reality.Drain the clock, not the c*ck...I would love to hear your thoughts on Hustlers (2019) !CONTACT....

Producer Brad Simpson recalls the production of the hit romantic comedy that was groundbreaking in both its casting and concept. After one meeting where a studio exec pitched changing the lead character to white to appeal to a wider audience, the producers decided to finance the script independently. Authenticity was incredibly important to them, but it was hard to find support for a film set in Singapore. They struck gold with writers Peter Chiarelli and Adele Lim alongside director Jon M. Chu, and multiple studios bid on the film that went on to gross over $200 million at the box office.
The adult animated series Velma chronicles the origin story of the bespectacled brains of the original Scooby Gang.

Velma is voiced by Mindy Kaling, and the rest of the show's voice cast includes Sam Richardson, Constance Wu, and Glenn Howerton.
