Spoilerpiece Bonus: A conversation with Dan Schecter
In this bonus episode of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre recorded at the Boston Jewish Film Festival, I chat with writer/director Dan Schechter about SAFE SPACES (now called AFTER CLASS), the festival’s opening night film. We discuss how the movie, which stars Justin Long, mines quasi-autobiographical material to deftly tackle emotionally complicated subject matter. We also cover Jewish themes in the story, his casting process, what he hopes viewers will take away from the movie, and most importantly, his bagel order.
