The writer of HAUNTED HEART joins us to tell the epic tale of how this movie got made.

16 years from script to screen, directed by Academy-Award winning director, Fernando Trueba, and starring Matt Dillon and Aida Folch.

Rylend Grant has written for the likes of JJ Abrams, John Woo, F Gary Gray, Daveed Diggs, Adam Winguard, Ridley Scott, Justin Lin, and Penelope Cruz. But Haunted Heart was his very first professional screenplay.

Rylend has also written a number of award-winning comics, including BANJAX, THE JUMP, FA SHENG: ORIGINS, THE PEACEMAKERS, and currently being crowdfunded as we speak, THE BREACH, a BLACK MIRROR-esque gritty small town crime drama...you know, if there was a portal to another time/dimension about to open up in said small town, and if there was a massive futuristic army about to kick it's way through and lay waste to said small town.

Check out THE BREACH!

THE WINES:

Rylend's Wine Pairing:
2001 Falletto di Bruno Giacosa Riserva, Vigna Le Rocche, Barolo DOCG
A well aged Barolo, now at its peak drinking window according to the forecasts. Like the Barolo the characters in the movie drink. Drink 2024 - 2026!

Dave's Wine Pairing:
2009 Domaine Tatsis Goumenissa (50/50 Xinomavro and Negoska blend), Macedonia, Greece
Or, if you're on a budget, this $35 wine tastes so much like a well aged Barolo it isn't funny. Bottled and then held until the winemakers though it was ready, this is a RECENT RELEASE even though it's 15 years old!!!

Dallas' Wine Pairing:
2019 Mylonas Savatiano, Greece
One of the key grapes in many "retsina" wines (wine with pine resin added) this is a rare bottling where the savatiano grape gets to shine on its own, unadulterated.
