Getting new takes on things is something @EchoChamberFP always likes to shine a light on, and that’s what we have in ‘Part TWO’ of this week’s podcast!!!
Thanks to Amanda Valley of ‘Obscured Pictures’, we have a very personal horror film that peels back that childhood perception and shows the horror of realisation. We also got to conversate with the director / writer of this remarkable film, which has a very personal understanding of trying to hold onto hope with greasy hands. This fascinating chat touches on illness, genre, memory and storytelling, amongst a host of other great things! You definitely don’t want to miss it!!!
'Family' is the feature directorial debut from Benjamin Finkel, which he also wrote. A 10-year-old girl (Cameron Dawson Gray) begins to believe her parents (Ben Chaplin, Ruth Wilson) are trying to kill her. Convinced a sinister spirit (Ryan Lucy) is to blame, she spirals into a haunting fantasy world that mirrors her deepest fears.
