New Film “Rain Beau's End” (AUDIO)

This week I talked with Filmmaker Jennifer Cooney about her new feature film “Rain Beau's End” an intimate drama set in the late 1990's depicting how a progressive lesbian couple's relationship is tested when their adopted son is mislabeled with a genetic predisposition for violence. The stellar cast includes Janelle Snow, Amanda Powell, Ed Asner, Sean Young, Christian Stolte, Melanie Chandra & Kirk Kelleykahn. The film tells the story of a evolving lesbian couple Hannah Driver & Jules Paradise who adopt a child named Beau who is subsequently diagnosed with 47, XYY - which was believed at that time to make boys more prone to aggressive behavior and years later was proved false. The couple rides the rough journey of Beau's apparent behavioral issues & how it not only affects his life & the small community they inhabit but markedly their relationship & their lives. As Beau gets older & research of his condition grows Hannah & Jules must face the reality of a self-fulfilling prophecy & the ghosts of their past. The film was directed by Tracy Wren & screenplay by Cooney from a story by Joe Orlandino. “Rain Beau's End” will have its global premiere online on Lesflicks Video on Demand platform Monday March 8th 2021 in celebration of International Women's Day. I talked to Jennifer about what she hopes to accomplish with “Rain Beau's End” & her spin on our LGBTQ issues. LISTEN
