    What do the films Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Short Bus and Rabbit Hole all have in common? Honest comedy that heightens the drama. They also share director John Cameron Mitchell.

    Mitchell and Elvis discuss the theme of healing, the joy of working with ensemble casts and lesser known actors. He also discusses the influence of Robert Altman, John Cassavetes and Sidney Lumet, as well as the unexpected poignancy of David Soul's music.
