Echo Chamber

Something slightly different for 'Part TWO' of @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ this week!!!

We take a look at a new A24, Tremolo Productions & Apple Films documentary, and then hear from director & star, BUT it's not one of our classic conversations, it's something the studio put together. Though it's not long, you might still dig it!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/xOwubW9DrDk

'STEVE! (martin) a documentary in 2 pieces' is written & directed by Morgan Neville. Steve Martin is one of the most beloved and enigmatic figures in entertainment. “STEVE! (martin) a documentary in 2 pieces” dives into his extraordinary story from two distinct points of view, with companion documentaries that feature never-before-seen footage and raw insights into Martin’s personal and professional trials and triumphs. “Then” chronicles Martin’s early struggles and meteoric rise to revolutionise stand-up before walking away at 35. “Now” focuses on the present day, with Martin in the golden years of his career, retracing the transformation that led to happiness in his art and personal life.

In 'Part Two' we have:
