Behind The Lens

It's raining men on this week's episode of #BTLRadioShow thanks to THE UMBRELLA MEN and producer DAN JAWITZ, MATT ESKANDARI talking WIRE ROOM, and a sneak peek into the world of Netflix's WENDELL & WILD from stop-motion guru HENRY SELICK. Writer/Director John Barker was originally slated to join us to talk about THE UMBRELLA MEN, but as things often are during a film festival, especially the hectic nature of #TIFF, John was unavailable at the last minute so producer DAN JAWITZ very kindly stepped in. Quite honestly, it is always a treat to speak with the boots-on-the-ground producer who has been involved in the process through acquiring the script, casting, working with the writers and director to solidify ideas and vision, location selection, hiring of department heads and more. A South African heist film to rival the fun and exploits of Danny Ocean and his Ocean's crews, Dan came to #BTLRadioShow to talk about THE UMBRELLA MEN fresh off its sold-out International Premiere at #TIFF.
