It screens as part of the Calgary Underground Film Festival on Monday April 20th at 6:30PM at the Globe Cinema. Jody WIlson and Jeff Gladstone (cast) will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A. THE BEARDED GIRL... On the brink of inheriting the position of "The Bearded Woman" – matriarchal leader to an outcast community of circus performers – a young woman defies her overbearing mother and runs away instead. Free from the expectations and responsibilities at home, she seeks romance and adventure with the normies in a tiny farm town. In order to fit in, she reinvents herself with stories of a fabricated past, until the truth of who she is can no longer be concealed.
