Beast: A Folktale Bares its Fangs on Indiegogo
Yet another friggin’ awesome werewolf movie has landed on Indiegogo in the form of Beast: A Folktale.
From the Press Release:
BEAST: A Folktale welcome you to the world of discrimination by marrying culturally rich people within a harsh fantasy setting. The focus of this film is about the human condition. It tackles socially and racially driven issues that took place in the United States during the late 1700s.
The story follows Liam, an indentured servant, as he accompanies the commanding hunter, Barker, and his obedient cousin, Alec, in greed filled pursuits. Nearing the end of his contract, Liam discovers Barker’s true intentions, to keep him as a prisoner for his own personal gain. Desperately seeking his freedom back, Liam must unwillingly partake in a bounty for a deadly monster, where he may ultimately find some hope.
Many of the characters are dealing with unfamiliar places and unfamiliar things. This has lead to a personal rebellion against their environment in one form or another. Some will fight for freedom, others will kill. Ultimately, racial injustices must be abolished. Sometimes it’s about the color of your skin, other times it’s about the shape of it.
Themes
The story is a metaphor for the everlasting division in the United States. In particular, the color of white and black relations. Prejudice stems from our ancestors who created the bigotry because of ignorance. BEAST will invite you into the fight against hate by using folklore. You’ll be challenging what it means to be white or black, rich or poor, and human or monster.
