Echo Chamber - 176 - Part One
It's another 'TWO Parter' for this week's @EchoChamberFP We start things off with a couple of horrors, a music documentary, and then a inspiring feat of adventure!
'Death Valley' is written and directed by Matthew Ninaber. A group of battle-weary guns for hire are commissioned to rescue an imprisoned scientist from a secret Cold War bunker. Upon entering the facility, they find themselves in a fight for survival when they come under attack from a terrifying creature of unknown origin.
'Slumber Party Massacre' is directed by Danishka Esterhazy and written by Suzanne Keilly. In 1993, Trish Devereaux (Masali Baduza) was the only survivor of a massacre when she stopped Russ Thorn (Rob Van Vuuren), a psychopath with a power drill, during a slumber party in Holly Springs. Nearly three decades later, Trish's (Schelaine Bennett) daughter Dana (Hannah Gonera) is off to a girls' weekend with friends Ashley (Reze-Tiana Wessels), Maeve (Frances Sholto-Douglas), and Breanie (Alex McGregor) (Plus stows away, Alix (Mila Rayne), Maeve's sister). Forced to go to the same campground, history soon is set to repeat itself!
'The Jesus Music' is directed by Andrew Erwin & Jon Erwin, with Jon on writing duties. This fascinating documentary reveals the music’s uplifting and untold story – rising from America’s 1960s counterculture movement, its humble beginnings at the Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California through its transformation into the multibillion-dollar industry of Christian Contemporary Music today. With stories of trials, triumphs, and intimate interviews with the genre’s biggest stars, such as Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, and Kirk Franklin.
Torquil Jones writes & directs '14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible'. The story of fearless Nepali mountaineer Nimsdai Purja, who embarks on a seemingly impossible quest to summit all 14 of the world’s 8,000-meter peaks in seven months.
