THE MAKING OF ECHOES OF 1965
With a simple concept in mind the production team follows a trail of breadcrumbs exploring the feasibility of each angle.
It seems like the journey is riddled with bad days especially when the team is faced with difficult decisions whether to persist on a 'cold' trail or cut it's losses and abandon it.
Even though good days are few and far between but when a good day does arrive, it does more than makes up for all the gloomy ones before. This is especially so when different pieces come together nicely.
This is truly an amazing feat for this group of teenagers juggling between the challenge of a fluid script, achieving aesthetic standards and dealing with a myriad of production issues.
