Echo Chamber - 348 - Part Two (Tomorrow)
You can hear ‘Part One’ of this week’s episode, HERE!!!
We continue with our coverage of films vying for a place on the 97th Academy Awards list in December, in 'Part Two' of this @EchoChamberFP episode!
Yet again, we have Molly Howe, and London Flair PR to thank for today's Short, which won 'Best Animation' at the 36th Foyle Film Festival. AND, as we do, we sit down with the talented individual who was a driving force behind the stories creation! It's set on foreign shores, but it's a great example of stories breaking down barriers. So there was a LOT to discuss, which I'm sure you'll enjoy!!!
'Tomorrow' is directed by Aryasb Feiz & Amir Zoghi, with Feiz also on writing duties. A scrappy 10-year-old urchin struggles to survive the day-to-day hardships of 1970's Iranian street life forms a friendship with a stray dog forever changing their lives.
