Veteran-Themed, Whidbey Island-Produced Series, Sounds of Freedom Debuts on Amazon Prime and at the NYC Web Fest Just in Time for Veterans Day
NEW YORK, N.Y., November 8, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Sounds of Freedom is a series about Julia, a servicewoman who returns from the Iraq war, and Vietnam Veteran Charlie. Both suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. From their jobs at the local newspaper, and through a series of flashbacks and sessions with a common therapist, these two veterans are challenged to the max when a serial killer strikes at home. Audiences are calling Sounds of Freedom “riveting.” Based on the tragic story of the director’s Vietnam veteran father, this series elevates the issues of PTSD beyond the controversial noise. Filmed on Whidbey Island by Eidetic Film, award-winning actors Katherine Celio and Bruce Weech star in this psychological tale of small-town intrigue.
Sounds of Freedom episode 1, “Eerie Recall” and episode 5, “Like a Phoenix” is premiering in New York at the New York City Web Fest Saturday, Nov. 11, 2017 at the PIT: People’s Improv Theatre. With this release, just in time for Veterans Day, audiences can also watch all six episodes anytime for free on Amazon with Prime membership: https://www.amazon.com/Eerie-Recall/dp/B0762BTTPH/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1509476098&sr=1-1&keywords=sounds+of+freedom
Audiences are calling Sounds of Freedom 'riveting.' Based on the tragic story of my Vietnam veteran father, I hope this series elevates the issues of PTSD beyond the controversial noise.
