Echo Chamber

I hope you are ready for 'Part TWO' of this week's @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ cause we didn't hold back!!!

Last week you got three great conversations, now that's not happening, HOWEVER, you do get to hear from a bright new voice in the music documentary game, who has dropped pure gold on us with his feature length debut! We look at the film, THEN get to hear about the whole process of telling an untold, little known (in the UK) story! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/a8uCQx-Zmks

'Getting it Back: The Story of Cymande' is the feature directorial debut from Tim MacKenzie-Smith, which he also wrote. The story of British band Cymande. Celebrated in the US, but facing indifference in the UK, they sadly disbanded too soon but their influence was significant, prompting their return some 40 years later

In 'Part Four' we have:

Yes, we are celebrating our '300th' @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ episode, and bringing you all that newness, BUT, in 'Part THREE' we're taking a look back!!!

During those dark days of 2020, a gem was dropped on the world which didn't get the recognition it deserved! Fortuitously though due to a conversation we had on episode '283' https://www.podcaphilia.com/echo-chamber/ep283 we now have the chance to shine the light on the film, AND, sit down with the creative genius behind it! We discussed the rollercoaster ride of making a movie, (let alone your first), finding your place in the industry, cultivating your environment and the stories you want to share with the world! So much knowledge is dropped, you're going to love every minute!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/TyRtR1Sdqo8

'Rampage Remix (Instrumental)' by EPMD - 2020

Now you're warmed up, I know you're read to get into 'Part TWO' of @EchoChamberFP's https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ 300th celebration!!!

There's honestly, never enough time with these things, but people, when 'Entertainment Squad' offered up their new indie comedy, AND the chance to speak with an acting legend, there's absolutely no way I'm turning that down! And so glad I didn't, cause we have over an hour of insightful musings about bringing an idea to life, taking chances and not compromising on a vision. Also we talk about the state of the industry, and barriers to exploring honest depictions of love, romance and comedy!!! Watch 📺 the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/6vapkaU_0IY
