Echo Chamber - 448 - Part Two (Borderline aka 'På Grensa')
So, yeah, ‘Part TWO’ of @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ this week came out of left field!!!
Ol Tom Brumpton hit me up with a short film hitting a run of Festival dates, and needing a space to shine. A REALLY different thing with this one, is it’s highlighting Sami culture, but in a really understated way. We made it work, cause that’s what the podcast is. But also, the exploration of culture is always interesting. And having the brother & sister creative team on hand to fill in cultural blanks. As well as exspue their storytelling foballs, working rituals, filmmaking connective tissue and so much more. Which is even more impressive when English isn’t their first language!!!

It's always a blast to have those repeat visits, to continue fun conversations and see the evolution of storytelling. So when Brendan hit me up to say that next feature was done, it was a no brainer to get him and crew on for a chat. Joined with his three leads, we got into the production, the casting, how the leads got that chemistry down. And then we had the interesting additions that Brendan added in, like differences with the Exorcist, the box, making the location seem logical. Definitely the scariest DBS joint to date, and their best too, so it was a lot of fun getting into things, and people, you won't want to miss this one!!!

Obviously there’s a BIG release this week, and because of the magnitude we have gone back to the beginning. All the way to 2017, and then revisit all the building blocks that have led to the latest instalment from our ’Friendly Neighbourhood Webcrawler’ and the 38th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

It's great that you stuck around, cause 'Part THREE' of this week's @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ was definitely a lot of fun to put together!!!
The one Tom Brumpton was kind enough to set everything up, and we went non Festival for a change! We take a look at a documentary, you could call a music doc, but it's a lot more than that. It's also more than identity, cause it deals with voice. Now, we now it takes time to find your voice (in all the things you do), so what would happen if, to become you, you might lose the thing that defines what you do, that separates you from everyone else. AND, what is great is, we get to talk about those very things, plus a LOT more, with the star of the piece!!! There are also screenings at The Arzner Cinema until the 6th August 2026!!!

Echo Chamber - 440 - Part Two (Mala)
It definitely feels like the perfect time to get into some mythology tinged stories with @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ this week, and the PR GOAT AJ Feuerman is to thank!!!
So with 'Part TWO', a mother & daughter team have worked to bring a South Asian story to the screen that is seeded with folklore. They tapped a director with vision to help bring everything to life. And we end up with something that really is looking at that moral crossroad we can find ourselves at! THEN, we sit down with the director, and the lead actress who also served as one of the producers, to really get their insights into what fuels stories, desires and creativity!!!
