Rain Beau’s End – Premiere Watch Party

by

To celebrate the global release of Rain Beau’s End we are hosting a Watch Party at 5:30 PM GMT before the Livestreamed Q&A at 8 PM GMT with cast and creators!

This will give you the opportunity to watch the film beforehand and get a better understanding of the film. We hope to create a seamless viewing experience of watching the film and Q+A back-to-back, recreating the experience of an IRL Premiere as much as we can in current circumstances.

This watch party will be hosted by Lesflicks Founder, Naomi Bennett! We are so excited about the release of this film and we hope you can’t wait too!

Rain Beau’s End Synopsis:
When a prominent, progressive lesbian couple adopts a child mislabelled with a genetic predisposition for violence, they must face the ghosts of their past and contend with their hard-line stance on acceptance. ​Will they stand for their values while trying to raise a loving family in the spotlight?

We come together on Zoom, but we watch the series on our own devices so you will need access the film through the website link above.
