Written and directed by Cassie Keet (Scream Therapy), Abigail Before Beatrice stars Olivia Taylor Dudley as a woman whose peaceful existence is rocked when she's visited by a fellow member (Riley Dandy) of the cult she escaped with news that its leader is about to leave prison.
The film also stars Shayn Herndon, Jordan Lane Shappell and Molly Jackson.
"The character of Beatrice is extremely close to my heart," says Keet. "Her story is about what happens when you find yourself on the other side of a toxic relationship, unable to move on because you can't let go. I believe everyone can relate to her intense desire for love, acceptance, and community."
Abigail Before Beatrice makes its world premiere at the Bentonville Film Festival on June 19th before playing in the virtual strand of the Chattanooga Film Festival from June 20th to 28th.
