Well, the Fantasia International Film Festival (17th July - 3rd August 2025) 🇨🇦🎞️🌎📽️🍁 has hit its 29th year, and @EchoChamberFP is here for it!
Angie Power at Route 504 PR helps us kick off our Montreal coverage, with a drama that though fused with fantasy, still clearly resonates with the human condition. THEN we sit down with the writer / director, along with the star of the piece. To really get into how all of this came to be!
'The Bearded Girl' is the feature directorial debut from Jody Wilson, which he also wrote. The story of a bearded girl (Anwen O'Driscoll) who is tired of being a freak.
