Deon Taylor and Roxanne Avent are the husband and wife duo behind Hidden Empire Film Group. The “first generation” moviemaker pair have worked together for 15 years and are entirely self-taught in the directing and producing realms.

Their latest is Fatale, a throwback to the erotic thrillers of the ’80s and ’90s, which stars Hilary Swank as a femme fatale who snares a sports agent played by Michael Ealy in her web. Italian cinematographer Dante Spinotti (Heat, L.A. Confidential) bathes this noir version of Los Angeles in neon blues and violets.

Also in this episode, Taylor describes the huge compliment he got from Dennis Quaid.
