You can hear ‘Part One’, HERE! and ‘Part Three’ of this week’s episode, HERE!!!

 

For ‘Part Two’ of this week’s @EchoChamberFP we delve into the life of an interesting young lady and her family!!!

With big thanks to Kelli McNeil-Yellen for setting things up, we get to experience a really heartwarming, warts and all glimpse into the life of Jazmine Faries, as well as her brother Chad, Mum Kate, and (kind of) stepdad Greg. THEN we sit down with Patrick and get to find out how a project like this comes together, which was the quintessential epitome of organic. As well as how he and his wife Anne found the beating heart of the narrative!!!

'Iron Family' is the feature documentary directorial debut from Patrick Longstreth, which he also wrote. A young woman with Down syndrome rouses her quirky family to perform her original play in a once-thriving rural mining town.

Patrick Longstreth

Writer, Director, Animator, Artist

Patrick Longstreth has a passion for storytelling that shines a light on unsung heroes. Pat's most recent short film, The Day That Shook Georgia, was a recipient of the 2023 Better Angels Lavine Fellowship as part of the Library of Congress Lavine / Ken Burns Prize for Film, was broadcast nationally on PBS's REEL SOUTH, and received a Southeast Regional Emmy for long-form historical documentary. He earned two Suncoast Regional Emmys for long-form directing and editing on The Life of Bill Baggs, a biography about a little-known newspaper editor who changed the course of history in the 1960’s. With his wife (and producing partner), Anne Longstreth, Pat recently launched the Hindsight Film Festival, America's first major film festival for historical documentaries, based in Savannah, GA.
