Echo Chamber - 188 - Part Two
You can hear ‘Part One’ of this week’s episode HERE!!!
In 'Part TWO' of this week's @EchoChamberFP We check a new incredible horror feature, AND, then speak to the highly talented family behind it.
'Hellbender' is the sixth film from the uber talented Adams Family! It's written & directed by Toby Poser, Zelda Adams & John Adams! 16 year-old Izzy (Zelda Adams) leads an isolated life on a lonely mountaintop. All she’s learned is from her protective mom and the wilderness that swallows them. Butterflies fill in for friends; waterfalls for school grounds. It’s a gentle, quiet existence — except for when Izzy and Mom (Toby Poser) bang out loud songs for their band, H6LLB6ND6R. Izzy dreams of a live gig, but Mom says that’ll never happen. Izzy is sick and mustn’t be around others. Questioning her illness and starved for companionship, Izzy sneaks down the mountain where she befriends brazen Amber (Lulu Adams). Izzy is in heaven, until a cruel drinking game with a live worm unleashes a new kind of hunger.

The Adams Family
John Adams, Toby Poser, and their daughters, Lulu and Zelda, are a filmmaking family under the creative marquee of Wonder Wheel Productions. They have 5 previous fea-tures: The Deeper You Dig (2020), which premiered at Fantasia Film Festival and is distributed by Dark Sky Films and Arrow Video; Halfway to Zen (2016); The Shoot (2014); Knuckle Jack (2013); Rumblestrips (2012) — all earning a hearty reception on the festival circuit, including Best in Show and Audience awards. For each they’ve employed the same DIY ethic: as a collective team they write, direct, pro-duce; they shoot, edit, act, and compose. (Post-college grad Lu rejoins them as an actor this time.)The family lives in the Catskill Mountains of New York.
