Echo Chamber - 171 - Raindance 2021
So @EchoChamberFP went to Raindance, BUT, life got in the way and we couldn't hit it like we do! HOWEVER, there's no leaving cats hanging, SO, we have a couple of films for you. PLUS, we sit with the highly talented Sharmay Mitchell and talk about her stop motion short, which got premiered at the festival. You can watch 'Part One' HERE and 'Part Two' HERE!!!
Kirsty Bell makes her directorial debut with 'A Bird Flew In', which is written by Elizabeth Morris & Dominic Wells. When the COVID 19 lockdown is announced, the entire cast and crew of a feature film are ripped from the heart of their film family and sent home – alone. They are actors with no audience, Production crew with no set and Directors with no script. Couples fall apart, others come together and some find they are simply alone.
'All Sorts' is written & directed by J. Rick Castaneda. A lonely data entry clerk finds himself in the strange and bizarre office of Data-Mart, where he meets June, an incredibly fast filer. Together they journey into the underground world of championship folder filing, where it’ll take everything to make it to the top, alphabetically speaking.
