ECHO TALENT SHINES IN 'SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS' AT TORONTO FILM FESTIVAL

We’re thrilled to celebrate four extraordinary films featuring the work of echo clients, all selected for the Special Presentations section at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival! 🎬✨

‘BAD APPLES’ - Directed by Jonatan Etzler, this satirical thriller stars Saoirse Ronan as a teacher driven to extremes by a violent student, revealing a community willing to ignore anything to preserve its peace. Costume Design by echo’s Sarah Blenkinsop.

‘CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN’’ - Actor James McAvoy makes his directorial debut in this wild, feel-good underdog tale based on a true story about two Scots faking it as Americans to pursue hip-hop fame. Production Design by echo’s Andy Drummond, BFDG.

‘ETERNAL RETURN’ - Directed by Yaniv Raz, this introspective drama follows Cass, a woman guarding herself against emotional pain—until she meets Virgil. Edited by echo’s Mark Everson, BFE.

‘ROSE OF NEVADA’ - Mark Jenkin’s film is an uncanny meditation on time, memory, and disappearance from one of Britain’s most distinctive auteurs. Costume Design by echo’s Jo Thompson.

The festival takes place 4–14 September 2025 in Toronto, Canada.

MARK JENKIN’S ‘ROSE OF NEVADA’ PREMIERING IN VENICE WITH COSTUME DESIGN BY JO THOMPSON

We’re thrilled to share that ROSE OF NEVADA, featuring Costume Design by echo client Jo Thompson, will premiere at the 2025 Venice Film Festival.

This Film4 and BFI-backed mystery-drama, directed by Mark Jenkin, stars BAFTA nominees George MacKay and Callum Turner. The story centres on a forgotten fishing village where a long-lost boat — the Rose of Nevada — mysteriously returns 30 years after vanishing at sea.

ROSE OF NEVADA will screen at the end of August as part of the official selection at the Venice Film Festival, which runs from 27 August to 6 September 2025.
