Film festival season is upon us! New screenings, new
creators, and new opportunities for social gatherings. Good Deed Entertainment
film, Ma Belle, My Beauty, is set to premiere in New Orleans at Broad
Theatre on August 27. There will be another screening at the Zeitgiest Theater,
September 3.
You can read the full synopsis of the film by clicking
Good
Deed Entertainment.
The film follows Lane, Bertie, and Fred, who were once
involved in a polyamorous relationship in New Orleans. Bertie was loved by both
Lane and Fred. But Lane somehow departed from them. Bertie and Fred were
married two years later and live in Fred's family home in Southern France. The
trailer is sure to give a better visual, so be sure to check it out.
Marion Hill, the creator of Ma Belle, My Beauty,
is a director based in New Orleans. According to Hill's bio page, her roots
spread from Vietnam to France and England. More on her style of work can be
read by visiting Marion
Hill's
website. Her narratives and visuals lean more on the queer femininity side—this
aspect is made clear in her feature film.
Aside from the film and what it demonstrates, consider
a more in-depth look at queer representation in film and television. Media
Smarts says, "Queer media doesn't necessarily rely on queer people being the
intended audience, nor does it require that queer people be affiliated with a
cultural product in any way other than as consumers." Now, some people may have
that mindset where they feel they must be a certain way or believe in certain
things to understand what they are not accustomed to. But just having an open
mind is enough to share experiences with others who have a different background
or partake in media content that is sure to be viewed as out of the ordinary.
Just by watching the trailer, you may find it to be
relatable. So many people can identify with having a relationship with more
than one partner. You may even relate to a lover who disappeared for whatever
reason and resurfaces sometime later back into your life.
