Phoenix Eye Films is delighted to announce that the Echo 8 Trilogy has been awarded Liverpool City Council’s prestigious Matching Grant Program Award. This endorsement allows the Echo 8 Trilogy to expand its successful Story to Screen Series to the Liverpool Local Government Area (LGA), offering a tailored experience to the local community through four comprehensive workshops.
Maria Tran, the visionary behind the Echo 8 Trilogy, shares her excitement: "It’s been an eye-opener to see how much local talent, businesses, and organizations go unrecognized for the hard work to build what Liverpool is today. I believe this community development project will be an innovative way to tie in a local movie that is anticipated to go international in 2026."
