Actress Tristin Mays Interview, MacGyver, Vampire Diaries, The Comic Shop | The Jim Masters Show

Описание: Special Guests and Exclusive Interviews with celebrated actress Tristin Mays ( co-star of the CBS series MacGyver, Vampire Diaries, Everybody Hates Chris) and award-winning feature film writer and director Jonathan L. Bowen as they join host Jim Masters on this episode of The Jim Masters Show and share exciting details and behind the scenes stories about the new film, The Comic Shop. The film stars Jesse Metcalfe (Desperate Housewives) , TristIn Mays, Micah Giovanni, with cameos from Eric Roberts and Scott Thompson, "Carrot Top." Whether people like comic books, comic book movies, or comic book characters, we all share a deep passion for tales of heroism that make the world a better place.

From writer/director Jonathan L. Bowen, “The Comic Shop” co-stars Tristan Mays (“MacGyver”) as Mike’s loyal employee Alex, who may have to take a job at a rival store when her hours get cut; Trevor Einhorn (“The Magicians,” “Mad Men”) as the spoiled and scheming rival store owner.

Featuring a stunningly poignant performance from Metcalfe as Mike’s fortune turns from bad to worse, Bowen’s story frames the emotional journey of the characters against the backdrop of their love for indie comics and the unique community of creators and fans who often struggle to find a place in a market dominated by Marvel and DC. The underdog Mike has lost some of his fight, and by helping protégé Brandon with finding a way to connect at home, the decisions about how to move forward reveal themselves one small heroic moment at a time.

Shot on location in Las Vegas, “The Comic Shop” is a slice-of-life love letter to comic fans that general audiences will easily relate to. We’ve all drawn inspiration from the larger-than-life heroes that are born on ink and paper and blossomed in our imagination, but “The Comic Shop” reminds us that the best sources of inspiration are those around us who are willing to risk it all to help us find our way.
