We’ve worked with Falco Ink in the past (Dean Alioto’s ‘Alien Perspective’, James Fox’s ‘Moment of Contact: New Revelations of Alien Encounters’) on some really interesting things. So obviously, we jumped at the opportunity when Lily Hunt & Danielle Villanella came with a new documentary AND the chance to sit down with the man behind it. Then you look at the subject and you know, this is going to be real as hell, and DAMN, what a chat. Just getting into the nuts and bolts of it all, the origin of the story and director. THIS is one not to miss!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/YJCh1PZfvS0

The Festivals keep coming and @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ is here to bring you as much coverage as we can!!!

It's time to head to New York, for the 25th Tribeca Festival, and thanks to Tom Brumpton we have a short film that has approached familiar ideas, but in a completely new, fresh way! THEN, we get to sit down with a first time director, and discover the impetus for the film, the importance of not only showcasing Filipino Martial Arts, but ensuring that the fight scenes felt realistic. Delivering on the feeling of not being excepted, all the nuance behind that, as well as from the Filipino gym and team owner. In 11 minutes we get such a rich story, it really enables us to have a super compelling chat, that you won't want to miss!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/XBp_RVW6hCw

So many Festivals and so many opportunities for @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ to shine that light on great talent.

Thanks to Franckie Francin & Patricia Chica at ChicArt PR we got to dip our toe into the Cannes Festival International Film & Inclusion and cover an extraordinary documentary playing as part of the Pavillon Afriques x Pavillon Afronova. THEN we sit down with the filmmaker to peel back the different aspects of storytelling that allowed for such an immersive experience. A truly impactful piece of work and chat, that you won't want to miss!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/Vtqy5XlgLz8

So our @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ Festival train has one more surprise stop to make in Cleveland!

Shaimaa Khan and the good folks at London Flair PR came through with a new indie short that we were trying to schedule during the 50th Cleveland International Film Festival, but couldn't quite lock it down. However, we got it to work, so we get a story that, through great storytelling, will draw you in, and have you asking so many internal questions on humanity, empathy, perception, and more. PLUS, it will be screening at the upcoming 25th Tribeca Festival. THEN, we sit down with the great mind behind it all and get all the insights and reflection on making this work, bringing it to life, and putting it into the world!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/iLd3WgDECDM

Time waits for no-one, but stories stay eternal, and that's why @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ is able to take a third spin in the Cleveland Festival scene!!!

Schedules can be real fickle, BUT, Tom Brumpton will always try and make things work. So although things didn't fully align for the 50th Cleveland International Film Festival, we still get to wax lyrically about a new indie short that premiered there with great success. THEN, we sit down with this first time filmmaker and discuss all of her adventures in storytelling. The foundation built with her music career, and what led her to film. As well as jumping into things with such a nuanced tale of identity, loneliness, and the need to be acknowledged by those close to you! A really great chat, that everyone can take something away from!!! AND, if you missed her at CIFF, you can catch upcoming screenings at Kingston International Film Festival, Vaporetta Film Festival (Hoxton), Brighton Rocks Film Festival and 19th QFest St. Louis Film Festival. Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/EUYZGfABcxs

No mistakes people, @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ is BACK in Cleveland for more Festival goodness!

Once again, London Flair PR came through and it was actually Shaimaa Khan who organised our first chat (episode 383 https://www.podcaphilia.com/echo-chamber/ep383) with our returning guest Radha Mehta https://youtu.be/A-CceLRehws So it's great we get to do it all again, for her brand new short film, which is having it's North American Premiere at the 50th Cleveland International Film Festival. If you dug the first convo, people, this one is sooooo immersive in storytelling soul, Radha is sonically hypnotising. Like her work, it's an incredible human embrace, you will not want to miss a second!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/IIYQNbbm_pk

After a dark week, the UFC is back, all the way from Macau, China. We get an interesting card at the Galaxy Arena, with some intriguing matchups people, and a sleeper card.

Mick Maynard and Sean Shelby, have done a great job, putting these interesting fights together. A former champion against a potential challenger in the main event. Then match-ups like Sergei Pavlovich against Tallison Teixeira in our 'Featured bout'. Or we have Kai Asakura who has a lot to prove, and Cameron Smotherman who wants to show he is not a one fight wonder. Jake Matthews against Carlston Harris, is also one hell of fight. AND, we have former One Championships Bantamweight champ, Xiong Jingnan, making her debut against Angela Hill.

We break down the card, @ChinCheckPod (ep 327) so you don't have to, all '13' fights are locked in, so lets go for that ‘UFC Fight Night: Song vs Figueiredo’ action!?!

Newark was a blast, and now the UFC is back home at the Meta Apex for another 'Fight Night' card. Maybe not as dazzling on paper, but after last week, standards have been set, bars have been raised, so everyone on Saturday night will be looking to make their claims.

There are fighters looking to keep their jobs, others trying to get a crack at ranked opposition, or title consideration. With all of this, Saturday's match-ups have a lot line, just at a different scale to last week! Four fighters also make their debut, Thomas Gantt, Artur Minev (fighting each other), Christian Edwards (Modestas Bukauskas) & Juan Díaz (Malcolm Wellmaker), no easy match-ups, just chances to be great.

We break down the card, @ChinCheckPod (ep 325) so you don't have to, all '13' fights are locked in, so lets go for that ‘UFC Fight Night: Allen vs Costa’ action!?!

The UFCs next 'Numbered Event' is coming at us Saturday night from the Prudential Center, Newark, New Jersey, and it is something f'sure! We have Khamzat Chimaev defending his belt for the first time against Sean Strickland. And that's just one of a stack of incredible match-ups!

One of those match-ups is another title fight. As Joshua Van is also making his first title defence against Tatsuro Taira. Man, this is one hell of a card. No debuts, we just got a murders row all the way through (essentially). In the second fight of the night, you have Baisangur Susurkaev going against Djorden Santos, then right after that Pat Sabatini against William Gomis, right into Roman Kopylov vs Marco Tulio, and that's just the 'Early Prelims'! The 'Prelims' proper opens with Jim Miller against Jared Gordon, then Grant Dawson against Mateusz Rębecki and Joel Álvarez vs Yaroslav Amosov! King Green vs Jeremy Stephens open the 'Main Card', followed by Sean Brady against Joaquin Buckley. Which could be a main event of a 'Fight Night', right? With Alexander Volkov against Waldo Cortes-Acosta fighting for a potential future title shot. And after everything Volkov has said recently, you know he's gonna want to show & prove!?!

This card really is phenomenal (on paper), so who can wait, I know you can't. So, as we do, @ChinCheckPod (ep 323) is going to look at everything, preview it so you don't have to! Sit down, buckle up, and let's check out 'UFC 328: Chimaev vs Strickland'!!!!

Yo people, from the Apex to Perth, Australia, the UFC is bringing a killer 'Headline' fight, in Jack Della Maddalena vs Carlos Prates to the RAC Arena. 13 fights and some really fun matchups, like our featured bout Tim Elliot vs Steve Erceg!

It's not necessarily a card jammed with superstars, but there's a lot of up and coming talent here, and the matchmakers have put together a host of intriguing encounters! We have a couple of debuts and some fighters who really need to switch up their fortune. Which should (hopefully) lead to excitement from Dom Mar Fan vs Kody Steele to Marwan Rahiki vs Ollie Schmid

With potential title consideration for our 'main event' winner, @ChinCheckPod (ep 321) is really getting into these fights for you, people. So all you have to do is switch on and enjoy ‘UFC Fight Night: Della Maddalena vs Prates’!?!

So the UFC is back home, back in Vegas, at the Meta Apex for another 'Fight Night'. We have a great card, anchored a former Bantamweight Champion and a surging young star! And before that, essentially the number one contender for the winner of the upcoming Women's Bantamweight belt, and a challenger on an impressive hot streak. Now, I think there's probably a lot on these fights, right?

If Norma Dumont wins, she's cemented her shot at the belt. BUT, if Joselyne Edwards wins, she could have next! There is obviously Mosar Evolve, BUT, maybe an impressive win gets Aljamain Sterling or Youssef Zalal a shot or a contender bout?!?

There are 13 fights on the card, with two debuts, so @ChinCheckPod (ep 319) jumped in to work out who's getting their hand raised! A lot of close match-ups, so lets see what happens on ‘UFC Fight Night: Sterling vs Zalal’!?!
