An informative and fun show for you this week on BEHIND THE LENS as we welcome director RJ COLLINS live discussing his new crime thriller CRESCENT CITY. Plus, my exclusive interview with composer BLAKE NEELY, Emmy nominee for Outstanding Main Title Theme Music for MASTERS OF THE AIR.
First, we're going for gold, Emmy gold that is, thanks to composer BLAKE NEELY. Emmy nominations are out and voting begins later this week for Television Academy members. One of my favorite nominees is composer BLAKE NEELY who snagged a nomination for Outstanding Main Title Theme Music for MASTERS OF THE AIR. In this exclusive interview, Blake and I dive into the essence of MASTERS Main Title Theme and its creation from composition to instrumentation and the importance of capturing the emotional essence of the story through music and creating a unique sound and experience by incorporating different instruments and orchestral elements that add depth and complexity to the piece.
And then, director RJ COLLINS joins me live discussing his new film, the chilling, twisting-turning, serial crime thriller CRESCENT CITY. Boasting an impressive cast with Terrence Howard, Esai Morales, Nickey Whelan, and Alec Baldwin, you will be riveted to the screen when you see this film. An insightful conversation as RJ breaks down the genesis of the story and his decades-long collaboration with screenwriter Rich Ronat, delving into lighting and lensing and the work of cinematographer Alex Salahi to bring this story to life visually and emotionally with texture and color.
