About Echo Lake
Echo Lake is a minimalist drama about Will, a 30-year old, functioning alcoholic, struggling with adulthood. When his estranged father dies, Will inherits the family cabin in the remote Sierra Mountains and then promptly gets kicked out of his girlfriend’s apartment. He heads up into Northern California woods in need of a place to crash and intending to sell the cabin, but, upon arrival, realizes that’s easier said than done. With the help of an unwanted dog, a nosy neighbor and a possible new romance, Will is forced to reexamine the stories he’s told himself about his family and childhood, and decide if he wants to head back to Los Angeles and fix his sabotaged relationships. Echo Lake is a story about the things we inherit, whether we want to or not.
