Meeting up with HTF’s Brian Ralston and Director Chris Chan Lee from Silent River:

• Intro by sam: Meet Brian Ralston and Chris Chan Lee
• Interview Qs:
  • Brian: What can you tell us about your work on Silent River
  • Chris: The film is out on digital to buy now.  How has the reaction been from audiences?  What was the film’s journey to getting made?  Is there a disk for those who don’t do digital?
  • Brian: The music in SR is very unique yet has a lot of stings that reminded me of 70s horror films.  What was your inspiration for the soundtrack?
  • Chris: this is your fourth film.  How has the progression been going?
  • Brian: Can you tell us about the Atmos authoring process and releasing the soundtrack in Atmos?
  • Chris: a few of the reviews I have read call it very Lynchian.  What’s your take on that?
  • Brian: Having heard the final LOTR on Prime I still think your ideas would have been wonderful.  Can you enjoy the show with that in your history?  What was your take on the musical?
  • Chris: I’m intrigued by the role of the stranger.  Can you give us some insight into some of his motivations?
  • Brian: Can you tell us about your podcast?  What about your own home theater?
  • Chris: you are both screenwriter and director here, how was it managing both hats?
  • Brian: What’s up next?
  • Chris: What’s up next, both for Silent River and yourself?  Will we see SR on something like Prime or Netflix?
