Echo Chamber - 421 - Part Three (Young Female Playwright)
Hopefully you're still with us, as we get into 'Part THREE' of @EchoChamberFP, which is a deep one!!!
It's all thanks to the GREAT AJ Feuerman, who never disappoints. This time she had a new indie feature that wants you to ask questions and contemplate that line between reality and art, and hierarchical trust & responsibility! THEN, we get to sit down with the writer and one of the stars of the piece to really dig into all the aspects that bring this film to life. Which gives us a really fascinating 90 minutes of insights!!!
When Millie (Ellie Moon) lands a splashy debut as playwright, celebration quickly turns to scrutiny after a press release describes her play as a "deeply personal story". Millie is sure the dark, family-drama is fiction; but her family (Claudia Dey, Rick Roberts, Jonas Chernick) is concerned.
