Interview: Baby Driver's writer/director Edgar Wright

Edgar Wright: Man Behind Baby Driver

June 25, 2017 Dean Rogers Interviews, Movies

Writer/Director Edgar Wright is back on the big screen this week in what I can describe as THE Thrill ride of 2017, Baby Driver starring Ansel Elgort, Lily James, Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm and Kevin Spacey. Talented getaway driver Baby relies on the beat of his personal soundtrack to be the best in the game. After meeting the woman of his dreams, he sees a chance to ditch his shady lifestyle and make a clean break. Coerced into working for a crime boss, Baby must face the music as a doomed heist threatens his life, love and freedom. I recently sat down with the man himself to talk about the music, the chase and the life in the fast lane.

Peter Behn, the Voice of Thumper

At some point in our childhood, we have watched the movie “Bambi” at least once. We all remember Bambi and his friends, Flower and Thumper. They were so adorable. Not too long ago, I had the chance to speak with Peter Behn, who voiced young Thumper in the classic Disney film.

Exclusive interview with Ben Phipps

Ben Phipps

May 23, 2017 Lauren Beverly Interviews, Television

New York, New York, so nice they named it twice. It’s also the second home of DJ/producer Ben Phipps. Born in Sweden, Phipps made his debut August of 2012 and has worked with a variety of musicians, including Ashe and Mike Ruby. Not only that, but he founded his own label, 14 & 9, so he could independently release his own music. I recently spoke with Phipps, and asked him about his music, his inspirations and what the future holds.

Punk fusion band Kung Fu is currently on tour and their fans couldn’t be happier. The New England based band started out in 2009 and they’ve been going strong ever since. While Kung Fu has seen success as a group, Tim Palmieri, guitarist for Kung Fu, has also found his own success as a solo artist. I recently had a phone conversation with Palmieri about Kung Fu and his career and I learned quite a bit about what makes Kung Fu’s music so amazing and how Palmieri’s musical career began.

When it comes to movies, a lot of things makes a movie good like the cast or the writing but for me, it’s always about the soundtrack. The music that moves you, that can change a scene. It can make you laugh or make you cry. This Wednesday, a great orchestra is going to bring some of that music to life. Adam Levowitz will lead his orchestra at the Howard Theatre for the Tarantino Soundtrack Vol. 1.
