Echo Chamber - Queer Screams - Vol One (How Far Does the Dark Go?)
We do not stop at @EchoChamberFP podcast!!!
The festivals keep rolling, and we quickly pass through the Queer Screams Film Festival, thanks to Brad Johnson & Rosa Ramirez at FONS PR, to check out a vampire romp. AS well as, sitting down with the films writer / director to get into all the minutia of the shoot!
'How Far Does the Dark Go?' is written & directed by Bears Rebecca Fonté. A nurse (Anna Hindman) kidnapped by a vampire (Chloe Caroll) and forced to tend to her dying human son (Robert Picardo), fights to keep her grip on morality as she falls in love with her captor.
