Broadcast Date – May 27, 2026

Our chats will be just that very conversational, not entirely sensible and with any luck totally enjoyable. Now, if you’re a regular listener to the show, you know how much I LOVE MOVIES, so you’ve gotta know when they’re filmed right here in the homeland, that’s the absolute finest kind. And how wonderful it’s been to watch the phenomenal response from movie fans across the country to LITTLE LORRAINE. Filmed on Cape Breton Island, the gripping crime drama brings to life the lore of a tiny seaside town turned dark by an international drug smuggling ring run across the sea on lobster boats and on land, in of all things, coffins. So appropos, and have mercy, is it marvellous! The movie marks the debut feature for my guest today, who, after directing music videos for countless artists from Alicia Keys and Keith Urban to Coldplay and Classified had another music track come at him that would change everything. A song from fellow Nova Scotia Adam Baldwin that sparked something in my guest’s storytelling spirit from which an entire film unfolded. So we’ll talk about that moment and so much more, including how it felt make his first movie back home in the province and how that legendary Cape Breton hospitality showed up for him on screen and off. We’ll also hear how he wove music into the project, discover the importance he places in dreams and even get the scoop on his sophomore feature that’ll have him calling “Action!” back here on the East Coast. Plus, we’ll get to 1st Things First, play an enlightening round of INsights IN 10 and even spin some of his favourite soundtrack tunes throughout the hour. So, with all that ahead, we’d best get to it – here’s my Zoom call conversation with the one and only Andy Hines. You’ll find the player at the bottom of this post.
