About
Playful, melodramatic and impishly entangled with cult classic horror, Devil Bean is a modern fable that plays with storytelling conventions and examines the strength of family bonds and courage in the face of addiction.
​
This satiric and bittersweet tale is the first funded short from young and emerging director Jessica Nipperess. While the film is in and of its own right a tremendous achievement from this 15-year-old director, we can be assured that Jess is just getting started.
