Echo Chamber - 409 - NY Special (The Dummy Detective)
And we couldn't have a 'New Year' episode of @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!!!
'The Dummy Detective' is directed by Rob Margolies, and written by Jonathan Geffner. Trapped in a creepy inn, a ventriloquist detective (Jonathan Geffner) and his dummy race to unmask a killer among strange guests (Sean Young, Deborah Twiss, Ed Altman, Kristin Samuelson, Hari Bhaskar, David Lambert) in this darkly funny neo-noir mystery.

Mary Sean Young was born on November 20, 1959 in Louisville, Kentucky. She is the daughter of Lee Guthrie (née Mary Lee Kane), an Emmy-nominated producer, screenwriter, public relations executive, and journalist, and Donald Young, Jr., an Emmy award winning television news producer and journalist. She has Irish, English, and Swiss-German ancestry. She grew up with an older brother Donald Young III and a sister Cathleen Young in Cleveland, Ohio. She attended Cleveland Heights High School, and then transferred to and graduated from Interlochen Arts Academy. A trained dancer, she studied at the School of American Ballet in New York City, and did some modeling. Sean Young began a promising film career by acting in a Merchant-Ivory film Jane Austen in Manhattan (1980) for Academy Award winning director James Ivory, She followed that up in the comedy hit film Stripes (1981) for Academy Award nominated producer-director Ivan Reitman. Soon, important directors were casting her in their films, such as Garry Marshall in Young Doctors in Love (1982), Academy Award nominee David Lynch in Dune (1984), and Academy Award nominee Ridley Scott in Blade Runner (1982) in what is her most respected film. 1987 was a big year for her, since she appeared in two big movies. Academy Award winner Oliver Stone cast her in the hit film Wall Street (1987). However, her other hit film No Way Out (1987), which involved a famous steamy scene in the backseat of a limousine with Kevin Costner, gave her star status. She was at the height of her fame, which led to her being cast as Vicky Vale in Batman (1989). She had an accident while she was training for the film. As a result, she lost the role to Kim Basinger for what turned out to be the biggest hit of 1989. Young put on a brave face and gamely moved on to do comedies Fatal Instinct (1993) for director Carl Reiner, and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), the latter's box office success made Jim Carrey a star, who immediately landed the role of the Riddler in the Batman sequel. Mary Sean Young is living in Austin, Texas. She created a new business venture called Austin Film Tours. It is Austin's first and only film location tour.
