BEHIND THE LENS #296: Featuring Ravin Gandhi, Nikiea Redmond and Kirsten D'Andrea Hollander

Take a listen to this episode of #BTLRadioShow as we welcome writer/director RAVIN GANDHI talking about the psychological thriller 100 DAYS TO LIVE and co-directors NIKIEA REDMOND & KIRSTEN D'ANDREA HOLLANDER talking their documentary ANATOMY OF WINGS. Joining us live at the top of the show is writer/director RAVIN GANDHI talking about the making of 100 DAYS TO LIVE, a chilling psychological thriller with twists and turns that will have your jaw dropping as we follow the story of a woman grappling with her own emotional fragility who runs a suicide support group. Having rebuilt her own life and found happiness, the rug is pulled out from under her as her fiance is suddenly kidnapped by a known serial killer who has thus far eluded the police. With the clock ticking, she races to uncover the identity of the killer/kidnapper and more importantly, why he kills. Listen as Ravin talks about the genesis of the story, building tension to a crescendo and then pulling the ultimate shocking twist, building character, his cinematographic design and importance of color and lighting in defining tone, and so much more. We then shift gears and head to Baltimore with the documentary ANATOMY OF WINGS as we speak with co-directors KRISTEN D'ANDREA HOLLANDER and NIKIEA REDMOND about a project that began as a 10-week afterschool workshop that turned into a more than 10 year journey for a group of 10 Baltimore City girls at the Dunbar School. Listen as Kristen and Nikiea not only talk about the WINGS project, but this amazing cinematic journey spanning more than a decade and how years of footage depicting the lives and what became lifelong friendships among these girls formed this documentary, the challenges of editing, finding and developing a throughline, and more. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
