Echo Chamber - 416 - Part Three (Solstice)
Award winning animation continues in 'Part THREE' of @EchoChamberFP as well as heart and stellar storytelling!!!
Thanks to London Flair PR & Shaimaa Khan we had the opportunity to check out a silent animated short, that explores themes of loss, grief, mental fatigue, emotional isolation, amongst other things. THEN, we sit down with the one man band who created & conceived this incredible piece. We talk about the process, finding the story and building from that point, the emotional aspect, as well as delving into a different culture. As well as so much more (like A.I.), so you don't want to miss this episode!!!
'Solstice' is written & directed by Luke Angus. A lonely Inuit must endure the endless summer daylight to be reunited with his lost love.
