Echo Chamber - 245 - Part One
You can hear ‘Part Two’ of this week’s episode HERE!!!
This week's EchoChamberFP is a TWO Part affair!!!
In 'Part One' we have a story of love and trauma from Making Movies Oy & Signature Entertainment, we revisit old friends, thanks to View Askew Productions & Lionsgate. Then Screen Media take us to a weird amusement park, and we bring it home with a tale of longing and redemption from REinvent Studios & Trollbound Entertainment.
'My Sailor, My Love' is directed by Klaus Härö, and written by Jimmy Karlsson & Kirsi Vikman. A retired sea captain (James Cosmo) and his daughter (Catherine Walker) must reassess their strained relationship after he begins a new romance with a widowed housekeeper (Bríd Brennan).
'Clerks III' is the third instalment, and feels like the bookend to the film that started it all for Kevin Smith, who wrote & directed it. Following a massive heart attack, Randal (Jeff Anderson) enlists his friends and fellow clerks Dante (Brian O'Halloran), Elias (Trevor Fehrman), Jay (Jason Mewes), and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) to make a movie immortalizing his life at the convenience store that started it all.
'Willy's Wonderland' is directed by Kevin Lewis and written by G.O. Parsons. A quiet loner (Nic Cage) finds himself stranded in a remote town when his car breaks down. Unable to pay for the repairs he needs, he agrees to spend the night cleaning Willy’s Wonderland, an abandoned family fun center. But this wonderland has a dark secret that the “The Janitor” is about to discover. He soon finds himself trapped inside Willy's and locked in an epic battle with the possessed animatronic mascots that roam the halls. To survive, he must fight his way through each of them.
'Leave' is directed by Alex Herron and written by Thomas Moldestad. A young woman (Alicia von Rittberg) tries to find her origins after having been abandoned as an infant at a cemetery wrapped in a cloth with satanic symbols, and around her neck hung a Wolf’s Cross pendant. 20 years later, she is obsessed with finding out why she was abandoned and who her biological parents are.
In 'Part One' we have:
