“We didn’t shy away from having the really hard conversation.”  ECHO: the Film.

“We wanted to be honest…and not try and solve it in 14 minutes.” Megan Peta Hill. Roxanne Fernandes and Megan Peta Hill are co-writers & co-directors on ECHO, a short film exploring the true and painful recovery journey of an eating disorder.  Roxanne & Megan co-direct the film & Megan is a lead actor. They have put together a talented and dedicated team including producer, Makalya McIntosh; Dave Chick, composer and Robert Zawistowski, director of Photography.  The short follows a day in Lana’s life where the noise and pressure of her eating disorder play host to every moment and experience.  The short film takes a stark, poignant and uncomfortable look at the impact of an eating disorder, including how the disorder hijacks Lana’s entire physical & psychological wellness & threatens her relationships.  Sharp, pulsing & emotive sounds & cinematography paint a picture on screen to how her ED brain misinterprets innocuous comments, how she fights to keep her story stuffed down in a self-shaming silence and how behaviors can be a comforting release from the relentless ED ‘noise.’  The film is currently finding exposure in film festivals across the US and Canada while fundraising for a feature length opportunity.https://seedandspark.com/fund/echo-post-production#story https://www.instagram.com/echoshort2024/Home - Looking Glass Foundationhttps://www.lookingglassbc.com/Echo (Short) - Full cast & crew - IMDbhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt35463275/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cst_sm---------------------------------Thanks for listening!
