Echo Chamber - 255 - Part Three
AND, this supersized edition of this week's EchoChamberFP comes to a close with 'Part THREE'!!!
We have a slice of life tale from Freestyle Digital Media that examines those external & internal thoughts we have when we're just taking a leisurely stroll! Then the creative force behind the project joins us for an in-depth look at the filmmaking process!
'Out And About' is written & directed by Peter Callahan. An unconventional tale about a middle-aged man trying to come to terms with his life over the course of an afternoon walk through his hometown. Distinctive in both style and substance and told virtually in real time, the story weaves together the protagonist’s inner monologue with conversations he has with the people he encounters along the way. Raw, brutally honest, poignant and funny, “Out and About” explores the contrast between our inner and outer selves, the conflict between old dreams and new realities, and one man’s search for meaning as he wrestles with aging, success and failure in America, and his ultimate place in the world.
