«I Still Think About You» – Noir drama podcast from «The Boys in the Band» actor Brian Hutchison
On Wednesday, November 17, «The Boys in the Band» actor Brian Hutchison will launch «I Still Think About You», a noir audio drama based on a harrowing true story centred around a past romantic relationship.
The seven-episode podcast premiered at the 2021 Hear Now Festival, where it won the Gold Selection «Mystery» award.
«I Still Think About You» tells the story of Adam McClure, successful New York actor, who revisits a haunting incident from his past. When coincidence brings an old friend, Dylan, back into his life, Adam fears for his new relationship with Tom, his sanity, and his life. Unsettling and ominous, with twists and turns until the very end, «I Still Think About You» is part memoir, part psychological thriller, and part love letter to Broadway.
«The inspiration came from walking my dog every day at the bay nearby where I live», says Hutchison. «Last winter was an isolating time and during some of those solo walks I’d think about the fear in the news, fear of the pandemic, that unsettling feeling of this thing we have no control over. On those walks I’d let my mind wander and imagine someone/something out there behind a tree or watching from across the water and I realised it was this person, the Dylan character, I kept envisioning».
An award-winning narrator of over 200 audiobooks, Hutchison took to his home studio to see if the story would work as an audio drama. «It seemed logical as the medium where I could really tell the story in a way that was interesting to me, and hopefully others», he says. «So, I started calling friends and asking them to record dialogue for me, and then it was really happening», (Meet the cast at www.istilthinkaboutyou.com.)
«I Still Think About You» is a drama, but also clearly a love letter to Broadway and New York City. «It is indeed a love letter to an artistic life, to the City», says Hutchison. «I Still Think About You»I’m constantly moved by good acting I see in New York, but moreso by the people who love doing it, the people who move from across the country to a new life with a desire to fulfil this need to perform or design or create or become more of who they are, we are. I know, personally, how much it takes–belief in yourself when no one else does, paying your dues, the sacrifices along the way».
The «I Still Think About You» audio trailer is available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcast. Episodes 1-3 will be released on November 17, with episodes 4, 5, 6, and 7 to be released on the Wednesday of each week through December 15.
