Should You Go See October Baby?

by Derek Brown – Apr 3

Carolyn McCully answers:

From another team of Southern-based Christian filmmaking brothers comes a new film with an unusual plot twist: a coming-of-age story about a girl who discovers she’s a survivor of a failed abortion. OCTOBER BABY (PG-13), directed and produced by Jon and Andrew Erwin, opens today, March 23, in select theaters across the nation.

Should you see it? The answer to that is wrapped up, in part, by an understanding of the film business. As a fellow filmmaker, I know firsthand how hard it is to get funding and distribution for topics that aren’t seen as money-makers. Anyone who can complete the incredible marathon of funding, filming, and finishing a film deserves a lot of respect.
