Now, like 'Part Two' of our Christmas special, today's podcast came together through what we've been building.

We've had Holmes & Watson, Parriot & Hastings, and now we get to check out the BIG screen debut of Trillo & Suede! What a journey it's been, and the man behind it all stops by to talk about the past attempts, the building blocks of Shorts and webseries, and everything else in-between. PLUS, he's joined by a screen legend, who, after doning many iconic roles talks about the draw of an innkeeper. How her experience helped the production, the craft of acting and a whole lot more!

So we're coming at you with a single hit @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ this week, after all that Christmas fun!!!
BUT, it's not the usual one and done, cause we're lacing you with a film / chat special, all thanks to the GREAT, AJ Feuerman. We take a look at a film that took a while to come together, which as these things sometimes do, worked out. Cause what we get is a hard boiled, psychological thriller, that keeps you drawn in all the way to the dramatic end! THEN, we sit down with the director (who also has a pivotal role in the joint), to find out how all of this came together. How time played into things, finding the litmus of the story, and what storytelling means to him, among a host of other things! This is another must watch / listen, so enjoy!!!

Echo Chamber - 407 - Part Two (House of Abraham)
So, 'Part TWO' of this week's @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ was one of those serendipitous situations!!!
I'd tried to look at the film earlier in the year, but things didn't come together. Out of the blue though, I got a message from the director, and we got things popping! Which was fantastic, cause this film.....the psychological rollercoaster is crazy! You don't know where it's going, and then when we get there, the questions!!! And of course, we sit down with this master storyteller in the making, to find out things like, what that feature debut vibe felt like. The freedom of working with such a great script and cast, the pressures of the subject matter, and a LOT more!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/R-KmktL_r-k
