🎬 “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” Welcome to Episode 361 of The Martin Talk Show — a raw, real, and revelatory conversation with filmmaker Dan Brownlie, whose life and creativity are anything but ordinary. 🎥✨In this episode titled ‘GroupChat’, we dive headfirst into an unpredictable, exhilarating dialogue that jumps from Jaws to breakfast cereal — but always circles back to the heart of Dan’s powerful new film, GroupChat. It’s a story born from trauma, shaped by grief, and driven by the deeply human need to reconnect, reimagine, and rediscover.Dan opens up about his relentless pursuit of creative expression — from running a horror Halloween event in an escape room to launching London’s first Toy Art exhibition 🧸💀, fronting a band, crafting latex masks, designing magazines, and ultimately answering the call of filmmaking. He’s a self-taught creative force who refuses to wait for permission. And GroupChat is the culmination of that wild, resilient energy.🎭 GroupChat follows a group of friends drawn back together for an online roleplaying game — led by the mysterious Dean — only to find themselves caught in a psychological thriller that stretches far beyond the virtual realm. As lines blur between fantasy and reality, what unfolds is not just a game… it’s a reckoning.This is more than just a film conversation. It’s a journey through grief, imagination, identity, and the power of storytelling to hold us together when everything else falls apart.🎲 Did you know that roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons are increasingly used in therapy to help people process trauma and explore identity in safe, imaginative ways?🌟 Dan: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3893092🌟 GroupChat: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt35660047As Always, Connect with Martin via:🎭 https://www.themartintalkshow.comJoin us.
