Echo Chamber - 393 - Part Two (Straight Through Crew)
You can hear ‘Part One’ of this week’s episode, HERE!!!
We're now getting into 'Part TWO' of this week's @EchoChamberFP podcast!!!
This is another one that came from an interaction on socials (just reach out, people!), and it spawned a sprawling chat that delves into the full journey of film production. A HUGE takeaway for creatives here is, we talk about failure and coming back from that. How you use it to shape those next steps. It's a raw, honest exploration that hits the lows, but also the highs, the achievements, the joy of collaboration and finding the spark of a story. This isn't 'Chin Check', but we touch up some MMA and Boxing too! A really great, and thorough confab that you won't want to miss!!!
'Straight Through Crew' is written & directed by David Campion. It’s Christmas Eve, and a group of friends (Charles Craddock, Jessica Pearce, Conchita Mbuyambo, Georgia Macleod, Jason Rosato, Laura Hall, Ella Dunlop, James Douglas) prepare to attend a village rave. However, dynamics are challenged when substances and feelings collide.
