Exclusive Interview with Rich Christiano
In our February issue, I had the opportunity to interview Rich Christiano, the writer, director, and producer of "The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry." I was hoping Rich might "open up" a bit in regards to his background, his approach to film making, and what the Sperry movie has meant to him and others. He more than exceeded my expectations.
