Ellen Greene Starring in New Short Film BEATRIX IS INVISIBLE

Little Shop of Horrors alum Ellen Greene is leading a new short film, which will make its world premiere this month at the Palm Springs International Short Film Festival. Beatrix Is Invisible, written and directed by Alex Farias, features Greene as the title character, also starring Rhys Mitchell, Taylor Shurte, Haiden Pino, Justin Livingston, Melina Paez, and L'metrius Long.

The official synopsis reads: "When Beatrix finds herself feeling disconnected and insignificant, she reaches out to the world around her for meaning. Unsuccessful, she is called to step far out of her comfort zone to sense her place in the world again."

Beatrix Is Invisible will screen as part of the Palm Springs International ShortFest, which runs June 24-30 in Palm Springs, CA. Learn more about the film and check out the full lineup here.
