Child of God Q&A w/ James Franco

Directed by James Franco, and based on the chilling novel by Cormac McCarthy, Child of God tells the provocative story of Lester Ballad (Scott Haze), a dispossessed, violent man, attempting to exist outside the social order. Consecutively deprived of parents and housing and driven by famished loneliness, Ballard descends literally and figuratively to the level of a cave dweller as he falls deeper into crime and degradation. Set in a small town in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Tennessee in the 1960s, Child of God is structured in three segments with each segment describing Ballad’s ever-growing isolation of from society and social mores. Child of God also stars Jim Parrack (True Blood), Tim Blake Nelson and features an appearance by James Franco.

Writer/Director James Franco will be holding a Q&A after the 7:15 PM showings and doing an intro for the 9:30 PM showings on Friday, August 1st and Saturday, August 2nd.
