WCLK is a proud partner with Atlanta's BronzeLens Film Festival. Atlanta is known in the film and TV industry as Hollywood South and the BronzeLens Film Festival is one of Atlanta’s premiere promoters of the industry. Along with award-winning producer/director Ava DuVernay and her ARRAY film releasing organization, the BronzeLens Film Festival will present Echo Park on Monday, April 25th at the Georgia Pacific Theater in Downtown Atlanta. Echo Park chronicles the heartbreak and heartbeat of a thriving city through the eyes of a talented new woman filmmaker,” explained Array’s Executive Director Tilane Jones. “We are proud to amplify the voices of Marsalis and actor/producer Anthony Okungbowa in a celebration of women filmmakers and filmmakers of color.” Echo Park is directed by acclaimed celebrity photographer turned filmmaker Amanda Marsalis (Vogue, GQ) and written by Catalina Aguilar Mastretta. Starring Mamie Gummer (CBS' The Good Wife, Cake) and Anthony Okungbowa (The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Mother of George), Echo Park takes viewers inside a diverse East Los Angeles neighborhood where residents contend with life and love while being challenged to define themselves in spite of their zip code. Sophie (Gummer) flees from her life of status and security, developing an unexpected romance with Alex (Okungbowa) who is also in search of a new start.
