Description

Staci welcomes writer-director Kirsten Foe to discuss her rock and roll cautionary tale "Off the Record." What begins as a romance movie between two musician lovers takes a dark turn, putting the microscope on the Svengalis of the music industry. Kirsten shares insights about her impressive cast featuring Rainey Qualley, Ryan Hansen, Rebecca De Mornay, and ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons. She reveals the challenges of filming during the pandemic and two Hollywood union strikes, her collaborations with Jim Irsay and Tenacious D's Kyle Gass, and her inspiration for creating a drama set in the rock and pop music world.
