Echo Chamber - 354 (X-mas Special - Gabriel Foster Prior)
It’s time for our annual ‘Xmas Edition’ of @EchoChamberFP for you to enjoy!!!
This year, we decided to revisit a conversation we originally had back in May 2024, with Gabriel Foster Prior. When we dropped ‘episode 316’, Gabriel thought it would be fun to intertwine film footage into the chat, which worked really well. However, it did mean you missed out on an hours worth of interesting back & forth. So today, you get the unedited version!!!
Now, you should be aware that we talked for over two hours, so Gabriel may have made some mistakes on names or omitted people in his thanks. No disrespect meant, these things happen sometimes.
Hope you enjoy the full conversation!!!

'The Bystanders', Gabriel Foster Prior’s first feature as director, premiered on the opening night of the academy award qualifying Austin Film Festival, where it was made a Staff Pick. The Bystanders won the Best Sci-Fi award at the Berlin Independent Film Festival and Audience Awards at both the Sydney Sci-Fi and Sci-Fi London Film Festivals.
Total Film, in a 4 star review, described it as an “Inventive Brit-com with style, charm and wit on its side.” SFX’s 4 star review called it “A dazzlingly original SF romcom” saying it “has enough imagination to suggest that Gabriel Foster Prior is headed for the big time.”
He has also directed short films including ‘The Drunk’ for which he won Best Director at Ealing Film Awards and 'A Short Film About Hats' which premiered at FEST New Directors Festival. He has also created comedy sketches including ’28’ which opened Seann Walsh’s Edinburgh Award nominated show ‘The Lie In King’ and video art including ‘Skysylla’ which was included in Athens Video Art Festival.
He also has a successful career as a film editor including feature films ‘Lucid’, which premiered at Edinburgh Film Festival and ‘The Wall of Mexico’ which premiered on opening night of SXSW 2019 and won The Audience Award at The American Film Festival. --
