The first look photos of Bella Thorne’s directorial debut “Paint Her Red” have been released.
The film, which will have its world premiere at the Taormina Film Festival, is based on an original screenplay she wrote, directed and stars in. The short features actor Juliet Sterner (“Saint Clare”) with narration by director-writer Oren Moverman, who was Oscar nominated for the original screenplay with “The Messenger.”
Thorne delivers “an unapologetic narrative, both painful and beautiful, exploring the journey of women,” according to a press statement. “With vulnerability and strength, [she] uses haunting visuals and an assembly of melancholic prose and poetry, allowing the audience a more intimate peek into a women’s pre-destined journey.”
