FOLLOWING FILMS

  Welcome to another episode of the FOLLOWING FILMS podcast. A movie podcast that takes you on a weekly journey into the world of cinema and the minds of the talented individuals who shape it. I'm your host, Chris Maynard, and today we are joined by writer director Max Gold to discuss his film BELLE. The film is a retelling of the classic fairy tale BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. In the film, Belle works on the family farm and cares for her father after he falls severely ill. Desperate to save him, she journeys in search of a mythical rose believed to be a cure. She must surrender herself as a prisoner to a vicious beast as payment for the rose. Battling the beast’s spell and the two toxic relationships in her life, Belle’s true journey is only just beginning. BELLE opens in Avondale Arizona on 7.14  and hits on demand 8.22. Enjoy the show.
