Echo Chamber - 442 - Part Two (Evil Follows)
You can hear ‘Part One’ of this week’s episode, HERE!!!
Now it's time for 'Part TWO' of @EchoChamberFP for this week, AND, we have a returning guest!!!
It's always a blast to have those repeat visits, to continue fun conversations and see the evolution of storytelling. So when Brendan hit me up to say that next feature was done, it was a no brainer to get him and crew on for a chat. Joined with his three leads, we got into the production, the casting, how the leads got that chemistry down. And then we had the interesting additions that Brendan added in, like differences with the Exorcist, the box, making the location seem logical. Definitely the scariest DBS joint to date, and their best too, so it was a lot of fun getting into things, and people, you won't want to miss this one!!!
'Evil Follows' is written & directed by Brendan Rudnicki. After his wife (Grace Maddux) is possessed by a demon from an ancient box, a husband (Stuart Maxheimer) must confront supernatural forces to save her soul.
