Echo Chamber - 388 - Part Four (A Nice Lady)
And so, our EPIC edition of @EchoChamberFP comes to a close with 'Part FOUR'!!!
This was a VERY late edition, but when Patricia Chica from ChicArt PR hit me up with a new indie short that explores processing grief, relationships and trust, you gotta add it in, right!!! PLUS, we get to sit down with the lady who brought her vision to light. Really getting into all those interesting tidbits from the production process.
'A Nice Lady' is the directorial debut from Jessie Weber Kass, which he also wrote. A visual artist (Molly Bernard) in her mid-30s, struggling with impulse control and loneliness, meets a charismatic young couple (Pearl Amanda Dickson, Luke Nieves) in Central Park and invites them to live in her rent-controlled UWS apartment. When they help her finally make money from her art, her fears and obsessions spiral, threatening to destroy the very connection she craved.
