Echo Chamber: DWFLA - Remixed
Did you know that Dances With Films (22nd June - 2nd July 2023) also covers film???
Well it does, and @EchoChamberFP has you covered!!!
This pilot is a story of rediscovery essentially, that leaves you wanting more! The creative duo behind this first adventure join us for fun and interesting conversation.
'Remixed' is directed by Mitch Yapko and written by Lauren Leon & Frank A. Leon. Liz (Lauren Leon), pregnant and at an all-time low, is confused about her marriage and falling back into irresponsible habits. While packing, Liz and her best friend Aubrey (Emily Bolcik) discover a box left by Liz’s deceased brother Owen (Zackry Colston). They find an audio-guided bucket list he made for his friends to complete…but 15 years ago. The girls recruit their friend Isaac (Jose Duran) to complete the first challenges, which were created for 20-somethings, not tired adults with complicated lives. On this journey, they rediscover their love for each other, address unhealthy coping mechanisms, and honor the final wishes of their friend.

26th Dances With Films
Dances With Films (DWF:LA & DWF:NYC), now in its 26th year, champions the unflinching spirit at the very core of the independent film scene. While the vast majority of film fests rely heavily on celebrity, we have relied on the innovation, talent, creativity and sweat equity that revolutionized the entertainment industry. And that reliance continues to prove successful with alumni moving on to write, direct and produce celebrity-studded vehicles, star in blockbuster movies and television series, produce multi-million dollar films and create hit TV shows. Oh…. and we even have several OSCAR® nominees… In a world of homogenized, formulaic film festivals, DWF:LA continues to defy the rules.
