Echo Chamber - 409 - NY Special (The Dummy Detective)
And we couldn't have a 'New Year' episode of @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ without a great confab attached, right!!!
Now, like 'Part Two' of our Christmas special, today's podcast came together through what we've been building. And that's what's great, cause having the opportunity to check out a really different type of detective tale is golden....or should that be wooden! We've had Holmes & Watson, Parriot & Hastings, and now we get to check out the BIG screen debut of Trillo & Suede! What a journey it's been, and the man behind it all stops by to talk about the past attempts, the building blocks of Shorts and webseries, and everything else in-between. PLUS, he's joined by a screen legend, who, after doning many iconic roles talks about the draw of an innkeeper. How her experience helped the production, the craft of acting and a whole lot more! This was a lot of fun, hopefully you enjoy it too!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/EGKoA0F7AGI
Echo Chamber - 408 (Stone Creek Killer)
So we're coming at you with a single hit @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ this week, after all that Christmas fun!!!
BUT, it's not the usual one and done, cause we're lacing you with a film / chat special, all thanks to the GREAT, AJ Feuerman. We take a look at a film that took a while to come together, which as these things sometimes do, worked out. Cause what we get is a hard boiled, psychological thriller, that keeps you drawn in all the way to the dramatic end! THEN, we sit down with the director (who also has a pivotal role in the joint), to find out how all of this came together. How time played into things, finding the litmus of the story, and what storytelling means to him, among a host of other things! This is another must watch / listen, so enjoy!!!

Echo Chamber - 407 - Part Two (House of Abraham)
So, 'Part TWO' of this week's @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ was one of those serendipitous situations!!!
I'd tried to look at the film earlier in the year, but things didn't come together. Out of the blue though, I got a message from the director, and we got things popping! Which was fantastic, cause this film.....the psychological rollercoaster is crazy! You don't know where it's going, and then when we get there, the questions!!! And of course, we sit down with this master storyteller in the making, to find out things like, what that feature debut vibe felt like. The freedom of working with such a great script and cast, the pressures of the subject matter, and a LOT more!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/R-KmktL_r-k
Echo Chamber - 407 - Part One (Christmas Special)
We were nearly there, but then wi-fi and illness delayed our special @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ 'Christmas episode'!!!
Never fear though, cause now it's live and you can still enjoy all the reviews and fun! In 'Part ONE', it may have been over 20 years, but we're returning to the amazon to hunt snakes! We see a fan favourite book make the jump to the BIG screen. PLUS, a new but beloved detective is back for a third adventurous case!
Echo Chamber - 401 - Part Two (Uiksaringitara - aka 'Wrong Husband')
Taking a Look at different types of stories is part of the DNA of the @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ podcast!!!
Thanks to Cynthia Amsden, in ‘Part TWO’, that’s exactly what we do. Our film is framed around Indigenous folklore, relationships and promises made! We also get to talk culture, casting, storytelling and a LOT more with the veteran director behind it all!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/Twqtm265fUg
Echo Chamber - 401 - Part One
Coming off the back of such a momentous & HUGE week @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ is definitely not slowing down. We have a ‘TWO Parter’ for you to enjoy!
In ‘Part One’ we have the third entry to a franchise cloaked in smoke & mirrors in the cinema. So we also revisited the first two entries as well! We travel back to 1945 Germany for a historical psychological true life story that would forever leave its mark on the world. THEN, for the second time this year we witness one of the deadliest killers known to the stars!!!
Echo Chamber - 400 - Part Nine (AJ Feuerman)
Things start to get tense & chilling for ‘Part TWO’ of this week’s @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ podcast!!!
None other than the GREAT AJ Feuerman blesses us once more with this new Psychological horror from a returning guest! We spoke with her (and collaborator Mehran Torgoley) all the way back on 'Echo Chamber - 163 - Part Two' https://www.podcaphilia.com/echo-chamber/ep163b, so getting to talk about her filmmaking journey was really interesting. Her co-lead was in tow too, so it was a well rounded chat about character development, acting techniques, and a whole lot more!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/YXq_69SnK-w
Echo Chamber - 400 - Part Eight (Mother of Flies)
Part of the appeal of @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ is the in-depth confabs, right!?!
So, if you’re gonna celebrate something like ‘400’, you have to bring in people that always bring it………….which means……..’The Adams Family’, obviously!
We first connected with ‘Hellbender’ https://www.podcaphilia.com/echo-chamber/ep188b, then there was ‘Where the Devil Roams’ https://www.podcaphilia.com/film-festivals/fantasia23-d2, and last year ‘Hell Hole’ https://www.podcaphilia.com/echo-chamber/ep337b so the party continues with a look at their latest joint and more insights into music, storytelling, and being an awesome family!!!

Echo Chamber - 400 - Part Six (Shaked Benson & BloodStream)
As @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ has grown, we’ve had the pleasure of cover a lot of films from Entertainment Squad and The Horror Collective. So it felt only right to bring in the man behind these studios as a part of our ‘400’ celebrations.
Especially as he has now dropped ‘BloodStream’, a brand new venture that will open up an array of opportunities for Horror storytellers!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/cpVcukINLZs
Echo Chamber - 400 - Part Five (Colossal Wreck)
The learning & insight continues, as the magnifier shifts to the climate for this continuation of the @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ ‘400’ jamboree!
Thanks to Sophie Toumazis & Marcello Aisoni at TPR, for ‘Part Five’ we have a documentary that came about from the screening of another documentary (it makes sense, trust me!) and shines a light not just on climate change, but also the machine that is COP (Conference of the Parties). We also had the pleasure of sitting down with the director and getting his insightful (and self deprecating) take on the conference, filmmaking, and the impact that could be made!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/ecTsGzmMvUE
Echo Chamber - 400 - Part Four (Cynthia Amsden)
Now a lot of the stuff on @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ is due to the publicists and studios who have entrusted their clients’ work.
So it’s only right that we shine the light on one of these great individuals, and that’s what we do in ‘Part Four’!!!
Back in September 2024, Cynthia came through with the feature ‘Paying For It’ and short ‘The Best’, to give us our first foray into covering TIFF. And things have continued to blossom from there!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/gA6aiEGGjzU
Echo Chamber - 400 - Part Three (The War Between)
As we celebrate, we also learn in this instalment of @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ ‘400’!!!
In ‘Part Three’ we take a look at the American Civil War, but not the well trodden ground we often travel. This debut feature film explores aspects of the war that are never acknowledged. SO, sitting down with the filmmaker is super fascinating. As we find out why this was the story to tell, the difficulties of filming, the new aspects of storytelling and more!!!

Echo Chamber - 399 - Part Three (1001 Crowns for my Head)
To cap off the ‘THIRD’ slice of this week’s @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ we take a look at a brand new documentary!!!
There are often things that nurture and uplift us, that speak to our heritage, but get maligned, policed or co-opped. Which makes the conversations had in this brand new documentary so important! And thanks to Sophia Benalouane and the great people at ChicArt, we got to look at the feature, as well as speak to the woman who is driving the charge for change!!!
