GODDESS: THE FALL AND RISE OF SHOWGIRLS — Lotti Pharriss Knowles Interview

Click here to listen to the interview. Lotti Pharriss Knowles is an unabashed, non-ironic fan of SHOWGIRLS, and she is prepared to tell you exactly why.

TRIAL BY FIRE — Ed Zwick Interview

Click here to listen to the interview. A film like TRIAL BY FIRE provokes a host of questions about the justice system and the ethics of capital punishment.  When I spoke with Ed Zwick on April 15, 2019, those inevitably came up as we discussed adapting the true story of Cameron Todd Willingham’s murder conviction, and… Read More »

In telling the story of Walter (Kevin Bacon), a convicted pedophile, it demands that we look beyond… Read More »

Brit Marling Considers ANOTHER EARTH

ANOTHER EARTH is a film that sets the synapses firing with its consideration of identity, reality, and redemption as it posits a reality where the sky is suddenly filled with a duplicate of our home planet. When I spoke with co-writer and co-star Brit Marling on July 14, 2011, the conversation reflected that as it… Read More »

The LEVITY of Ed Solomon

The LEVITY of Ed Solomon

Making his directorial debut filming his own script wasn’t the only break Mark Solomon made with his previous work. Unlike the broad comedy he’s done before, LEVITY is a thought-provoking film that isn’t afraid to examine matters religious and moral in a world that offers few absolutes when it comes to right and wrong. It was… Read More »
