Gold Coast International Film Festival Announces ‘The Benefactor’ In The Line-up

Gold Coast International Film Festival reveals that The Benefactor (aka Franny) starring Theo James, Dakota Fanning, and Richard Gere will be on this year’s schedule. The Benefactor will be on Tuesday Nov 10th at 7:30pm.

THE BENEFACTOR

Dir. Andrew Renzi | USA | English | 92 min | Narrative | Long Island Premiere

Richard Gere shines as Franny, an eccentric philanthropist trying to reconnect with his deceased best friend’s’ daughter (Dakota Fanning) and her young husband (Theo James). Although impossibly charming, Franny’s motives and lifestyle bring about larger moral questions, in this surprising and engaging debut drama from writer-director Andrew Renzi.

Tues 11/10, 7:30pm, Soundview PW
