Director Derek Magyar & the Cast of RIVER OF GRASS discuss this Powerful Short Film

My guests today are director/actor Derek Magyar, actress Marceline Hugot and actor Dylan McTee, and the very powerful short film RIVER OF GRASS.

The short film, RIVER OF GRASS set in the 1970’s Florida Everglades that shares the story of a young veteran suffering from PTSD, who returns home to his drug smuggling family. His efforts to prove himself collide with his brothers’ criminal affairs, triggering his erratic behavior.

The acting is exactly what you expect from its stellar cast, and because of that you will want more of this story and Derek I hope you will give us just that. More of this story. This could be another Yellowstone-type hit.

Derek Magyar’s directorial debut was the feature film FLYING LESSONS which starred Academy Award nominee Hal Holbrook, and Academy Award winner Christine Lathi. He has also starred in such films as BOY CULTURE, TRAIN and NO ONE LIVES alongside the hit TV shows CSI, CRIMINAL MINDS, STAR TREK, and THE WATCHMEN.

Actress Marceline Hugot has starred in Julie and Julia, United 93, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar, Woody Allen’s Alice, and her first film experience which she still holds dear to her heart, the hit movie Working Girl.

Her television appearances, include, Black Mirror, Ozark, Better Call Saul, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and 30Rock to name a few.

And we have actor Dylan McTee who quickly gained attention for his compelling portrayal of the charismatic predator, Nate Griffin, in MTV series Sweet/Vicious.

Dylan has since starred in a range of critically acclaimed indie films, including IFC's The Wind and Midnighters. His television work includes a notable recurring role in The CW's Roswell, New Mexico. He was the lead actor in the film Wrong Turn.
