The Wreck of Echo
A local Palm Beach County prep school makes a splash in the film industry. The Wreck of Echo 10-4 is a four-part murder mystery created by Phil King and Austin Parenti, Director of Digital Media Arts at King’s Academy in West Palm Beach. The series came to fruition in August 2021. The writing team consisted of Austin Parenti, faculty member, Phil King, along with Ryan Cavanagh and Lina Apicella. These students dedicated so much time and effort to the school’s Digital Media Arts program that the director trusted their capacity to not only write an episode but also direct it. The storyline follows the events after a millionaire’s private plane mysteriously crashes and the evidence pointed to sabotage. The project will premiere downtown at The Square’s AMC Theater on Friday, December 2, 2022 and will be available for digital streaming online.
