About this film
Celebrated SFF alum Jess Weixler (LAMB, MONEY, TEETH) joins iconic actor, speaker, and campaigner, Adam Pearson (UNDER THE SKIN, DRIB) for this delightfully buoyant, darkly satirical examination of Hollywoods treatment of disability on set and off. Top-prize winner at Knoxville, New Hampshire, and New Orleans Film Festivals, CHAINED FOR LIFE follows Mabel (Weixler) as she struggles to connect with her costar, Rosenthal (Pearson) and a company of other people living with disfigurements and deformities that have joined the cast of their film, an art house take on the Grand Guignol of Tod Browning.
