BEHIND THE LENS #438: Featuring Christopher Schrack and Daniel Yoon

Behind The Lens

It's a full house on this episode of BEHIND THE LENS as we welcome two multi-hyphenate indie filmmakers, CHRISTOPHER SCHRACK and DANIEL YOON, who discuss their new films, FOR SALE and EAST BAY, respectively, not to mention wearing a multitude of filmmaking hats during a production. First up, writer/director/DP/editor CHRISTOPHER SCHRACK joins us discussing his new film, the horror comedy FOR SALE. Get ready to laugh out loud and jump out of your skin as we enter the world of narcissist Mason McGinness as he navigates life celebrating himself and cheating people out of anything and everything to further his own gains. But the tables may turn on Mason when he tries tackling real estate and his boss gives him the company albatross of "murder house" to sell. Belieing a very limited budget, FOR SALE is solid filmmaking. Listen as Christopher goes in-depth talking about the various elements of production from location, making the house a character, casting, visual effects, using natural light as much as possible, score, and more. Then writer/director/editor/lead actor DANIEL YOON is on board to talk about his latest, EAST BAY, a very thoughtful and purposeful film that beautifully utilizes mixed visual grammar and musical composition to metaphorically elevate and engage an already solid story and outstanding performances. Listen as Daniel dives into the nuances of his cinematic storytelling style, character development, casting (including an early performance by Constance Wu before "Crazy Rich Asians"), editing, score, various visual tones and techniques, and more that bring EAST BAY to life, as well as discussing not only the challenges of wearing so many hats but the benefits of time (this film was started in 2010) in order to make this film. A very interesting conversation for filmmakers and those who want to learn more about what goes on "behind the lens". http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
