Echo Chamber - 30th Fantasia - Vol 1 (Godhead)
With the Fantasia International Film Festival (16th July - 2nd August 2026) 🇨🇦🎞️🌎📽️🍁 hitting its 30th Anniversary this year, you know that @EchoChamberFP couldn't miss one of the best Festivals out there!
And thanks to Prodigy PR's Taylor Shannon, we couldn't have picked a better way to start things off! We touch base with a filmmaker bringing his sophomore effect to the Festival that debuted his first feature. Now, that one got a lot of acclaim, and this new joint is most definitely going to eclipse that one. It's bold, unflinching, and gets to the very fabric of your consciousness. Leaving you pondering ideals & notions days after the final credits have rolled. So, having the opportunity to chop it up with the writer / director, and really get into the minutiae of film, was a blessing!!!
'Godhead' is written & directed by Mark H. Rapaport. Eccentric twins (Sarah Coffey, Kimball Farley) proclaim themselves prophets to a priest (Al Warren), blurring reality and delusion as they involve him in their supposed divine mission.
