BEHIND THE LENS #517: Featuring Anton Sigurdsson

About this episode

This episode features writer/director Anton Sigurdsson discussing his psychological thriller REFUGE.

This week on BEHIND THE LENS, it's all about tension and terror, blood and brutality with writer/director ANTON SIGURDSSON's psychological thriller/mystery, REFUGE. Four estranged friends reunite on a fishing trip, but a missing child and a desperate father's accusation turn the reunion into a deadly reckoning. Brutal, bloody…..lots of duct tape involved. Terror-filled. A twisted ending that will probably surprise most. Written and directed by Icelandic filmmaker ANTON SIGURDSSON, REFUGE boasts a wonderful cast of Adam Sinclair (Sam), Adam Dorsey (Mike), Donald Paul (Barry), and Christopher Dietrick (Jay). Behind the lens, we have high storytelling production values thanks to cinematographer Gunnar Audum Johansson and editor Sharif M.Es. Ali, amazing production designer Jarrett Staaf, and a score by Yu Miyashita. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
