A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... I had the delight of meeting actor Misty Rosas when I interviewed her for my documentary "Men In Suits".  Since then her work has gone into hyper-drive thanks to two instantly iconic roles on "The Mandalorian"... Kuiil, the wise Ugnaught, and the endearing Frog Lady.  A lot has changed for Misty Rosas.  You could even say, "The Force is strong with this one."

The puppet ghost stories of Kevin McTurk (The Haunted Swordsman, The Mill At Calder's End, The Narrative of Victor Karloch) are a fine blend of many cinematic influences including George Méliès, Jim Henson, Japanese folk tales, Hammer Horror and so much more. The masterful way he creates illusions of fantasy and life has amazed film festival audiences around the world. In many ways, I consider him one of the most intriguing filmmakers working today. So let’s venture into the spirit cabinet with Kevin to hear the method behind his magic. Links: The Spirit Cabinet - Kevin McTurk's Official Site [http://www.thespiritcabinet.com/]

I continue to sift through the FILM SENSE bins in search of bonus interviews like this one from my discussion with director Andrew Kasch about the challenge of going to the movies and discovering new voices in a shrinking, streaming world. - FHW
