HO, HO, HO! The holiday season is upon us and what better way to kick it off on BEHIND THE LENS than talking all things Santa and Christmas with JASON WINER and THE SANTA CLAUSES Season 2, and ALBERTO BELLI and THE NAUGHTY NINE! You loved the films. You loved Season 1 of THE SANTA CLAUSES, and now we've got Season 2! And what a season it is as we follow the ongoing adventures of Scott Calvin and his family who have returned to the North Pole after Scott's ridiculous idea of retirement as Santa. Listen as director and Executive Producer JASON WINER discusses what goes into the series, the story and growth of the characters and the adventures, relatability to the audience, walking the dark line of Mad Santa, bringing back franchise favorites, Easter Eggs, score and needledrops, and so much more. Then get ready as there's a new Santa in town thanks to ALBERTO BELLI and THE NAUGHTY NINE! Talk about a fun-filled film! It's holly jolly from beginning to end as we follow a group of kids unhappy that they were on the "Naughty List" and didn't get what they wanted for Christmas. Of course, the solution is to trek to the North Pole, sneak in, and steal the presents they wanted to find under the tree. Led by 5th grader Andy (who reminds you of a younger Ferris Bueller with his antics), the casting of our Naughty Nine is perfection with production values first-rate (especially with costuming) and how about Danny Glover as Santa?! Listen as Alberto and I really dig into his director's bag of tricks talking every aspect of the film from working with kids and live reindeer to creating the North Pole, and most notably a marriage of cinematography and sound design in the third act that is beyond amazing. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

As an actor, improvisor, and photographer, Jason Winer took an adventurous route that led to his work as a director. Winer is known for his work on ‘Arthur,’ ‘New Girl,’ ‘The Crazy Ones,’ ‘Life in Pieces,’ and for directing the pilots for both ‘Modern Family’ and ‘Don’t Trust the B—— in Apartment 23.’ His latest film, ‘Ode to Joy’ is a fresh take on the romantic comedy. Starring Martin Freeman and Morena Baccarin, the story actually comes from a segment on Chicago’s “This American Life.” The official summary reads, “Charlie suffers from cataplexy, a symptom of narcolepsy that causes sudden bouts of paralysis whenever he experiences strong emotions - in particular, joy. He develops a variety of techniques to deny himself too much pleasure and happiness, but they're put to the ultimate test when he falls in love.” In this interview, Winer discusses his route to the director’s chair, why technical aspects can wait, how directing television helped him make decisions quickly, the complications of the studio business, the importance of camaraderie on set, and how to make an original obstacle in a genre film.
