Echo Chamber - 392 - Part Two (Mean Boys)
Now, 'Part Two' of this week's @EchoChamberFP bumper edition came about within the spirit of what the podcast tries to do!
This is a barrier free platform for creatives to be able to tell their stories and promote their work. Because of that, Alexander Justin Gonzales reached out and we were able to put something together to shine the spotlight on his upcoming new feature!!!
'Mean Boys' is written & directed by Alexander Justin Gonzales. Infatuation becomes obsession in the age of social media when suddenly outcast nerd Ira Scholsberg (Ryan Wayne) finds himself at the wrong place at the wrong time. When he becomes entangled in the ruthless social world of the popular jocks (Michael Dean, Trevor Guyton, Jake Hepner, Jake Hepner, Trevor Van Uden, Brock Kruckemeyer) his dream of fitting in becomes a nightmare as he navigates tricky bisexual love triangles and drug abuse.
