Film Independent at LACMA Curator Elvis Mitchell will host a
special episode of his radio show KCRW’s The Treatment
in front of a live
audience as part of the Los Angeles Film Festival. A “treatment,” in Hollywood
parlance, is a concise overview of a screenplay. On KCRW’s The Treatment,
Mitchell turns the tables and gives the “treatment” to some of the most
influential and innovative forces creating movies and popular art and
entertainment. KCRW’s The Treatment at the Los Angeles Film Festival will take
place on June 19 at the DIRECTV Theatre Regal 9 and will feature a conversation
with filmmaker Justin Lin, director of four of the six Fast & Furious
movies, including the recently released Fast & Furious 6. Following the
event, the discussion will air as an episode of The Treatment on KCRW (89.9
FM).
