Anthony Hon and the good folk at London Flair PR came through with a really well crafted cultural exploration. THEN, hooked up an enjoyable confab with the writer / director, who talked about his excitement of screening at the ‘70th’ edition of the Festival. His experience making the film, and the importance of authentic storytelling that immerses audiences with cultural resonance! Along with next steps and a whole heap more!!!

Echo Chamber - TADFF 2026 - Vol.0 (Adam Bovoletis)
We at @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ have covered a lot of Festivals, but there are still a ton that we haven't gotten to. Now though, that won't be the case for 'Toronto After Dark Film Festival (TADFF)', thanks to the tremendous Angie Power @angabama at Route 504 PR!
2026 marks the 19th edition of this beloved Toronto gem, and the first headed up by new Festival Manager, Adam Bovoletis, who is also part of the 'Programming Team'. So who better to sit down with and find out why this is a must visit, national treasure!?!

People, we still have some @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ goodness to sprinkle on the 51st Toronto International Film Festival!
Once again, the delightful Cynthia Amsden came through with something super interesting as well!!!
This one is a tale of anchoring yourself in something pure, friendship. It’s simple, sparse, but extremely rich in honesty and emotional resonance! Once again, we have the director / co-writer (also co-lead) & co-writer / co-lead on hand for an enthralling, insightful exploration of the filmmaking process, the Toronto film scene, storytelling and a heap more!!!

Echo Chamber - TIFF 2026 - Vol 1 (The Lion Does Not Concern Himself)
There's a lot talent coming out of Canada, so for @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ to cover the 51st Toronto International Film Festival is a real pleasure.
It’s all down to the PR phenom Cynthia Amsden and like with the first year we teamed up for the festival, she’s come through with great stuff!!!
For our first instalment we have a short film that’s so much more than just a comedy. It’s engaging, character rich and a conduit to insightful dialogue. Which is perfect, as we got to chop it up with the director / co-writer & co-writer / co-lead that really let us dig into themes, motivations, inspirations, social perceptions and a heap more!

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 https://www.instagram.com/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!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/gQk2m6uq_Ao
Echo Chamber - 25th Tribeca - Vol.1 (Kaya (ᜃᜌ))

It's time to head to New York, for the 25th Tribeca Festival, and thanks to Tom Brumpton we have a short film that has approached familiar ideas, but in a completely new, fresh way! THEN, we get to sit down with a first time director, and discover the impetus for the film, the importance of not only showcasing Filipino Martial Arts, but ensuring that the fight scenes felt realistic. Delivering on the feeling of not being excepted, all the nuance behind that, as well as from the Filipino gym and team owner. In 11 minutes we get such a rich story, it really enables us to have a super compelling chat, that you won't want to miss!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/XBp_RVW6hCw
Echo Chamber - SXSW - Vol.1 (Black Zombie)
For the first time, @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ ventures into those hallowed Austin vibes, with a little South by Southwest action! And if we’re gonna do it, what a way to get things popping!!!!
The beauty of expansive, long-form conversation, is that it can really get under the skin of topics many just skate over, and demystify preconceived notions. So when Falco's Imani Charles came with the opportunity to speak with Maya Annik Bedward about her feature directorial debut, which was dealing with topics & notions not normally discussed, of course we were eager to get that done! And what an interesting, expansive confab was had. Maya was incredibly open about the whole process, giving her entire team their flowers and talking about Haiti & Vodou with so much care, and passion, it was clear she was truly meant to shine a light on these topics! This is most definitely not one to miss, people!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/ugoWcj41RRE
Echo Chamber - DWF-NY26 - Vol. 2 (Stop Time)
This is our second hit from 'Dances with Films: New York' for @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/, and it was another great one!!!
Today was all thanks to Susan Engel, who really does come with the full spread of projects! This one is a really interesting reflection on time, memory, and how we process things. The poignant visuals and story make a lot of sense when you consider today's guest's background and myriad talents in the realm of storytelling. We were able to get into his latest film, the origin, the process of adapting the Short, finding those growth moments, as well as touching upon his journey through sound and play! This is really a must listen!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/iCt7m4t7fcs
