In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole? Presenting The Class of 1989, a new limited-run series from pop culture critics Len Webb and Vincent Williams, hosts ...

What a BEHIND THE LENS we've got for you with this episode as we take a look at two films as different as night and day thanks to writer/director ANTHONY REPINSKI and his film, HEATHER; plus, XAQUE GRUBER talks about the fabulous SALLYWOOD! Joining me at the top of the show is writer/director ANTHONY REPINSKI to discuss his new horror film, HEATHER. Brutal, and graphic but with a fascinating character study unfolding, it is impossible to look away no matter what unfolds onscreen. An interesting conversation with Tony as he talks about going from multiple tours of military duty in the Middle East to filmmaking, his love of storytelling, the genesis of HEATHER and the importance of the film's themes on bullying and beyond, working in a contained environment on a limited budget, having a strong production team, and more. Then get ready for the indefatigable and exuberant writer/director XAQUE GRUBER and SALLYWOOD. (Due to logistics on Xaque's end, although we had hoped to do this live, we prerecorded this interview on Halloween to air today.) Starring none other than Sally Kirkland as Sally Kirkland, this laugh-out-loud comedy is everything you could hope for from Sally Kirkland and more. Based on Xaque's true life experience as Sally's assistant, get ready for fun, silliness, lots of cameos, and more. SALLYWOOD is Sally! And Xaque breaks it all down for us in this fun-filled interview as he dives into the logistics of the production, working around Covid restrictions, the importance of color and visual tone in the film, casting (some amazing fun cameos), and more! A film that's sweet, brilliant fun with a filmmaker to match! http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
