This week on BEHIND THE LENS, it's all about mysteries thanks to director STEPHEN SHIMEK talking about MURDER AT THE EMBASSY, and writer/director LOTFY NATHAN discussing THE CARPENTER'S SON.
But first, let's take a little trip to Cairo with director STEPHEN SHIMEK and MURDER AT THE EMBASSY.
The second film in the Miranda Greene franchise, this story is fun, and the film is as entertaining as it is beautiful, as it drenches you in the beauty and wonder of Egypt. Set in 1930s Cairo with pyramids and antiquities at the height of Egyptology and archaeology, private detective Miranda Green is called to investigate a suspicious murder inside Cairo's seemingly impenetrable British Embassy when she discovers a second crime has been committed that could spark war across the globe. Everyone within the walls of the embassy is a suspect, but the ultimate evil force is lurking right around the corner.
Directed by STEPHEN SHIMEK and written by Mark Brennan, MURDER AT THE EMBASSY stars Mischa Barton, Mido Hamada, Kojo Attah, Nell Barlow, Raha Rahbari, Antonia Bernath, and Richard Dillane.
Now let's switch gears and talk about another type of mystery with writer/director LOTFY NATHAN and THE CARPENTER'S SON. Not your cut-and-dry faith-based or historical religious film, Lotfy pushes the envelope here as he draws from the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of Thomas for this story. This is a film that has already drawn some ire in the Christian community as it is developed from the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of Thomas about the childhood of Jesus and fills in the New Testament canonical gospels, often clashing with some of those accepted writings. A powerful and fascinating film that is exquisitely made. And did I mention it stars Nic Cage as Jesus' father, the carpenter Joseph?
Written and directed by LOTFY NATHAN, THE CARPENTER'S SON stars Nic Cage as "The Carpenter", Noah Jupe as "The Boy" aka Jesus, and FKA Twigs as "The Mother" aka Mary.

BEHIND THE LENS #490: Featuring Allan Ungar, Christopher Leone and Patrick Pianezza
We're chatting about some wonderful films with some terrific filmmakers this week on BEHIND THE LENS, starting with director/co-writer ALLAN UNGAR talking about his new film, the action buddy comedy road trip, LONDON CALLING. Then in the second half of the show, director/co-writer CHRISTOPHER LEONE and writer/former paramedic PATRICK PIANEZZA are on hand for their new comedy/dramedy, CODE 3.
Directed by Allan Ungar with script by Omer Levin Menekse, Allan Ungar, and Quinn Wolfe, LONDON CALLING stars Josh Duhamel, and along with Josh is the scene-stealing Jeremy Ray Taylor, Aidan Gillen, Arnold Vosloo, Rick Hoffman, and Daniel Lasker, who is a solid standout here.
In this exclusive interview, you'll hear Allan discuss LONDON CALLING, highlighting the dynamic between Tommy and Julian, played by Josh Duhamel and Jeremy Ray Taylor. He praises cinematographer Alexander Chinnici for the film's visual grammar, particularly the use of light and lens in South Africa, as well as the collaboration of his production team, including production designer Warren Gray, art director Kerry Von Lillienfeld, and set decorator Roberto Bassi, and their successful recreation of London and Los Angeles in Cape Town.
Then, we're coming in hot with sirens roaring and lights flashing thanks to director and co-writer Christopher Leone and writer/former paramedic Patrick Pianezza and their new film CODE 3.
Directed by Christopher Leone, CODE 3 is a high-octane action dramedy that follows a world-weary paramedic on his final 24-hour shift as he trains his eager but inexperienced replacement. What begins as a routine night quickly unravels into a chaotic, citywide odyssey, testing their endurance, instincts, and sense of humor as they race from one emergency to the next. Blending heart, irreverent comedy, and edge-of-your-seat action, CODE 3 offers a gritty, behind-the-scenes look at the life of first responders, where every call could mean disaster or redemption.
