Exclusive Interview with ‘Earth to Echo’ Director Dave Green

In an exclusive video interview Dave Green, the young director of the new family adventure “Earth to Echo” (opening July 2), talks about shaping the story, casting the main characters, and crafting a script that works for adults and kids. Also, learn why he was “afraid” of showing his creation to of his friends.

After the interview I told him that he shouldn’t worried because the movie really worked for me and I am a cynic thirty-something.

In Relativity’s PG summer family adventure movie, Tuck, Munch and Alex are a trio of inseparable friends whose lives are about to change. Their neighborhood is being destroyed by a highway construction project that is forcing their families to move away. But just two days before they must part ways, the boys begin receiving a strange series of signals on their phones. Convinced something bigger is going on, they team up with another school friend, Emma, and set out to look for the source of their phone signals. What they discover is something beyond their wildest imaginations: a small alien who has become stranded on Earth. In need of their help, the four friends come together to protect the alien and help him find his way home. This journey, full of wonder and adventure, is their story, and their secret.”
