Echo Chamber - TIFF 2026 - Vol 2 (Driftwood)

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!

It's our second (and last) instalment of @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ coverage of the 49th Toronto International Film Festival @tiff_net!!!

Only short, but what a trip, eh!

And we're ending things with another gem, thanks to Cynthia Amsden @cynthiaamsden

It's an exploration of emotions and grief, especially highlighting the stigmas for South Asian men. THEN, we sit down with the writer / director to explore this highly imaginative look at this damaging culture and laying out your personal experiences on the screen!!!

For the first time ever @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ goes to TIFF!!!

Well, this is essentially a quick drive through of the 49th Toronto International Film Festival, BUT, it's all thanks to Cynthia Amsden!!!

For our opening salvo, we take a look at a new film that exudes Toronto, while looking at the intricacies of relationships and sex work. THEN, we sit down with the director/writer and two of the stars for an incredible confab that will have you clambering to get a ticket for the film!!!
