Echo Chamber - 201
Starting our run to the next milestone, EchoChamberFP this week, looks at a new Amazon Studios joint, another great music documentary. AND, a sequel to a classic, more than thirty years in the making!!!
'Emergency' is directed by Carey Williams and written by KD Davila. Kunle (Donald Elise Watkins) and best friend, Sean (RJ Cyler), college seniors, are ready for an epic night of Spring Break parties, their “legendary tour.” But, returning to their apartment to pre-game, they find their roommate, Carlos (Sebastian Chacon), left the door open, and a drunk, semi-conscious white girl (Maddie Nichols) is on the floor. They now have to decide how do they get her help, while keeping safe themselves!
'Bleeding Audio' is directed by Chelsea Christer and is a story of triumph, failure, and how the community of music keeps bands alive in the digital age. Told through the eyes of quirky, charming, and humble, 'The Matches’ bandmates Shawn Harris, Jon Devoto, Matt Whalen, and Justin San Souci, the film digs deeper into the challenges the average musician faces, and the community that keeps artists alive.
'Top Gun: Maverick' is directed by Joseph Kosinski & written by Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer, and Christopher McQuarrie. Set 36 years after its predecessor, the film follows Maverick's return to the United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program (aka "Top Gun"), where he must confront his past as he trains a group of younger fighter pilots, among them the son of his deceased best friend Goose.
