I'm very excited about this week's BEHIND THE LENS and for you to hear from these two fabulous directors – KRISTIN SCOTT THOMAS talking about the delightful, charming, and funny MY MOTHER'S WEDDING and HOWARD J. FORD talking up RIVER OF BLOOD and a "leisurely kayak ride" through the jungles of Thailand, complete with indigenous tribes who don't like outsiders. What could possibly go wrong! Directed by KRISTIN SCOTT THOMAS and co-written by Kristin and John Micklethwaite (her real-life husband), MY MOTHER'S WEDDING stars Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller, Emily Beecham, Freida Pinto, and Kristin Scott Thomas and is the tale of three sisters who return to their childhood home for a momentous occasion: the third wedding of their twice-widowed mother. Over the weekend, the family gathers to celebrate the new marriage, but mother and daughters alike are forced to revisit the past and confront the future, all with help from a colorful group of unexpected wedding guests. An absolute joy speaking with Kristin about her writing and directorial process, from the first moment, it is clear that she not only was and is passionate about this very personal story, but understands the intricate details of the production and storytelling process and its collaborative nature. Now we go from the beautiful, joyful, and fun, to the terror and horror of a Thai jungle. Directed by HOWARD J. FORD and written by Tom Boyle, RIVER OF BLOOD stars Joseph Millson, Louis James, Ella Starbuck, Sarah Alexandra Marks, and David Wayman, many of whom you may recognize from Howard's prior films. As you'll hear Howard break it all down, he goes deep into his processes, starting with the challenges of filming in Thailand, including the search for jungle locations and the use of a local crew. With nothing but praise for his Thai cinematographer Park, we discuss the creation and use of smoke, along with the choice of Sony FX3 and FX6 cameras. And laying dolly track in the jungle? Amazing. But always at the forefront is Howard's desire and demand for authenticity. Speaking of authenticity, how about the use of real indigenous tribes as well as practical effects? One of the truly outstanding elements of RIVER OF BLOOD is the sound design and sound mix. WOW! We really get into Joe Vince's sound design and the mixing work of Graham and Adam Daniel, particularly when you layer in the very cool score by Anthony and Jack Wade. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

We discuss why watching films on a phone is a no-no, and how our ever-connectivity with devices is leading to us lose one other.

Sarah Alexandra Marks was born in Essex, England. She trained as a dancer going on to perform at prestigious venues, most notably the The Royal Opera House. She transitioned to screen acting and quickly began racking up an impressive list of film credits with leading roles in Howard J Ford's ‘Escape' & ‘River of Blood'. Other leading roles include ‘Witch', ‘The Caller' & ‘The Manor of Darkness'. Sarah is attached to ‘The Hag' which is currently in development. "Working on Escape, more specifically with Howard J Ford was a breathe of fresh air - he is a wonderful director to work with, every day, every scene, every moment carries meaning and passion. Collaborating with him on this film reinvigorated me as an artist and performer. With the trust of Howard I was able to explore my character with free reign and ease. I truly believe this helped me be present in each moment both on and off camera. The cast and crew were phenomenally hard working and a pleasure to unwind with after days in the sand. The film captures shots of the desert that would make Sergio Leone fans happy and those who love full blown action are in for a treat". Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

In this episode of Mail Order Zombie, Brother D talks about a zombie movie that's been on his radar since he first heard about it in 2010, but since it has such an innocuous name like The Dead (dir. Howard J. Ford and Jonathan Ford), it was difficult to find much information about it online before it was released in the UK last year. It hits DVD and Blu-ray in the US this month, and you'll have to listen to Episode #174 to hear if the movie lives up to D's expectations! This episode also features the first of MOZ's occasional Palette Cleansers in which D walks the MOZ Family through JABB pictures' The Collective Vol. 2. After the Feedback at the end of the show with Miss Bren, D takes some inspiration from a recent episode of Outside the Cinema and presents his Top Six List of Zombie Movies That Would Make Awesome Video Games.Mail Order Zombie Facebook Group - http://tinyurl.com/facebookmozEmail us at MailOrderZombie@gmail.com or call us at 206-202-2505!Palavr.com Forums - http://palavr.com/forum.php/I Heart Monster Movies - http://www.indiegogo.com/I-Heart-Monster-MoviesThe Dead - http://the-dead-movie.com/JABB pictures - http://www.jabbpictures.com/Empty Wallet Gamer - http://emptywalletgamer.tumblr.com/BoneBat Film Festival - Comedy of Horrors - http://bonehand.com/bonebatff.htmlSad Day for Night of the Living Dead Fans - Two Deaths - http://www.horrorbid.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=280&t=19588Plan D: The Official Website of Derek M.
