BEHIND THE LENS #394: Featuring Freddie Stevenson

A terrific show this week on #BTLRadioShow thanks to our special guest FREDDIE STEVENSON discussing his documentary TRIALS TO TRIUMPH, and our prerecorded exclusive interview with BILL HOLDERMAN & ERIN SIMMS talking BOOK CLUB: THE NEXT CHAPTER. Five years ago BILL HOLDERMAN and ERIN SIMMS were live on #BTLRadioShow to talk about a new feature film they co-wrote which also marked Bill's feature directorial debut. That little film was "Book Club." With big name talent – Fonda, Bergen, Keaton, and Steenburgen – leading the way, we all hoped for a hit so that a sequel might follow, but no one had any idea just how big a hit "Book Club" would become. But here we are, five years later, and I once again got to chat with Bill and Erin about the sequel BOOK CLUB: THE NEXT CHAPTER. And while we couldn't mesh schedules for them to join me on the live show this time, we did speak for this prerecorded exclusive interview about this latest "page-turner" covering everything from story to casting (especially the supporting players) and the return of these formidable women, to Italy and filming logistics, to addressing the passage of time and the pandemic in the film and dealing with shooting protocols overseas, editing, and so much more….. I think you're going to like hearing this one! Then take a listen as we are joined by a very special guest. Former NFL fullback turned motivational speaker, FREDDIE STEVENSON, is with us live to discuss his documentary based on his best-selling book, TRIALS TO TRIUMPH. And what a journey Freddie has had! Exploring not only his story but stories of others who have turned darkness into light, including Maurice Benard, Delvin Breaux, Tony Gaskins, Ryan Green, Tyrell Lyons, and Neno Torres, TRIALS TO TRIUMPH touches us all. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
