Extending Halloween a bit longer this week on BEHIND THE LENS as we chat with documentarians BRADFORD THOMASON & BRETT WHITCOMB about THE SPIRIT OF HALLOWEENTOWN. Plus, writer/director MATT WHITAKER discusses the powerful and important narrative film TRUTH & TREASON. But first, let's keep that Halloween feeling going with THE SPIRIT OF HALLOWEENTOWN. Who hasn't seen or doesn't know about the utterly charming HALLOWEENTOWN franchise? It became a Halloween staple from the moment it released, with Debbie Reynolds as the magical Grandma Aggie Cromwell and Kimberly J Brown as Aggie's granddaughter Marnie, along with Judith Hoag as Aggie's daughter and Marnie's mom, Joey Zimmerman as Marnie's brother Dylan, and Emily Roeske as their younger sister Sophie. So beloved, that original film spawned three sequels! But it all started in the little town of St. Helens, Oregon, where the original film was shot. And now, all these years later, Bradford Thomason and Brett Whitcomb return to St. Helens to discover how this picturesque town of St. Helens and its Halloween happy residents decided to capitalize on the town's starring role in HALLOWEENTOWN and each year invites tourists to come and celebrate the film and Halloween with them. Shifting gears, I want to talk about an important and powerful film that is in theatres right now – TRUTH & TREASON. TRUTH & TREASON is based on the true story of German youths Helmuth Hubener, Karl-Heinz Schnibbe, and Rudi Wobbe, who fought Hitler and the Third Reich with the most powerful weapon of all – their words. An amazing true story that has remained untold for too long and now, thanks to Whitaker and Karl-Heinz Schnibbe, comes into the light.

BEHIND THE LENS #493: Featuring Lisa Brenner and Devin Montgomery
We've got some multi-tasking, multiple-hat-wearing filmmakers on this week's BEHIND THE LENS as we're looking at two indie gems with two wonderful filmmakers – LISA BRENNER, who is discussing her feature narrative screenwriting debut, ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY, which she also produces and in which she stars alongside Linda Lavin in her final big screen performance; and DEVIN MONTGOMERY, who makes his feature directorial debut with the drama MONSTERS WITHIN. And like Lisa, he also stars in his film, as well as serving as writer and editor. ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY, which is based on Lisa's own life, explores themes of family, identity, and unity, all done with heart and laughter. On her 40th birthday, Rachel is grappling with a looming midlife crisis and the nerve-wracking task of delivering a speech at her daughter's Bat Mitzvah. But when a DNA test unexpectedly reveals that she's only half-Jewish and her beloved father isn't her biological parent, Rachel's life is thrown into disarray, and suddenly, she's embarking on a hilarious journey with her eccentric mother Lenore to find out who she really is. And as if you hadn't already guessed, Linda Lavin plays eccentric mother Lenore to Lisa's Rachel. Then we go a bit darker with DEVIN MONTGOMERY and MONSTERS WITHIN, the story of Luke Wolf, a war veteran, who returns to his hometown, where his sister Elle is, who has Down Syndrome. Things are different, or maybe it's just that now he's different. After years of running from his problems, Luke must face his monsters. Written, directed, produced, edited, and starring Devin as Luke Wolf, MONSTERS WITHIN also stars Samuel French, Skeeta Jenkins, Daniella Montgomery, Kendall Cavener, and Katy Hayes.
