BTL Radio Show - 08/21/2023 with guests MAX GOLD and RAY SPIVEY

From comic books to fairy tales, and both laced with a bit of horror, take a listen to this episode of BEHIND THE LENS as we're joined live by writer/director RAY SPIVEY talking about his new film STORAGE LOCKER, as well as writer/director MAX GOLD talking about his latest, BELLE.

First up is RAY SPIVEY talking STORAGE LOCKER.  A very cool premise that opens the door for some visual storytelling creativity as he tells the story of Packer Stanley, a rabid comic book collector in search of the Holy Grail of comics - the first appearance of The Spyder.  But what happens when comic books, the supernatural, and witchcraft collide?

And then writer/director MAX GOLD is on hand talking about his beautifully haunting reimagination of the Old World tale of “Beauty and the Beast” with BELLE.  There is a simplicity to this telling that embraces nature, making it a metaphoric character, thus allowing compelling performances that drive the story. One of my favorite versions of this folkloric tale.
