Echo Chamber - 307 (The Manifestation)
Time for another 'Special Edition' @EchoChamberFP to kick off the week!!!
As we have a new indie psychological thriller from Wolverine Films & Vision Films dropping on 19th March, we decided to give it a look! THEN, speak with the writer / director about what went into making his feature! Covering a range of topics like production, utilising experience, relationship building, AI, and much more! Definitely enlightening for those stepping into the field, and just navigating life in general!!!
'The Manifestation' is written & directed by Geert Heetebrij, in his feature directorial debut. An unsuccessful day trader (Jack Kesy) is desperate when he loses his family’s savings. Drawing from the teachings of a self-help guru (Usman Ally), he finds that he can manifest his inner voice in the form of a younger version of his wife (Inbar Lavi Bar Shira). With her help, he turns his luck around and is able to build a fortune, but soon discovers that she may have a much darker agenda and will take everything from him, even his life.
