Rain Beau's End tells the story of two women who adopt a child with a genetic condition and behavioral issues. It is a story of grappling with the unexpected and coming to terms with accepting the unforeseen.

The film was directed by Tracy Wren, written by Jennifer Cooney, and Produced by Joe Orlandino. It stars Janelle Snow ("Chicago Fire," "Chicago Med," and "Empire,"), and co-stars Ed Asner ("Mary Tyler Moore Show", "Lou Grant,"), Sean Young ("Blade Runner," "No Way Out,") and Christain Stolte ("Chicago Fire"). 

The film has had a successful run on the festival circuit. It won the audience award at the 2020 qFLIX XL Film Festival and was accepted into the 2021 Garden State Film Festival, which will take place from March 23rd to March 28th, 2021.
