Filmmaker Jay Craven talks about his latest film Peter and John. Set in 1872 Nantucket, after the demise of the whaling industry, before the rise of tourism, and in the wake of the still-reverberating Civil War, the film is based on a screenplay Craven adapted from Guy de Maupassant's 19th century seaside novel. Mindy Todd hosts this interview on The Point.
