YO, I have been eagerly waiting to drop this one, people, trust me! In 'Part TWO' of this week's @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ we're coming with crazy insight!!!
It's all thanks to Kelli McNeil-Yellen, who came with this gripping crime story, and hooked up a sit-down with the writer / director, who's basically an architect. He's laid the foundation for a sprawling universe, so, being able to break that down, find out the impetus for it all, and get into the implementation. At its core is community, and building an infrastructure, but you should hear it for yourselves!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/OjAwoPHcru8

It's a bit of a revisit, because we first looked at this film during Sci-Fi London 2023, but looking back at that review: https://youtu.be/Yh1aM4iPxsY I didn't really do things justice.
