John Barnard's film A Fable About Beauty is set to make it's World Premiere at the Canadian Film Centre's World Wide Short Film Festival this June in Toronto. The comedic film follows an ensemble cast, chronicling a clash between an aspiring young novelist and an unorthodox documentary filmmaker while two quirky witnesses watch the whole scenario unfold right in front of them.

The film stars Sarah Constable (House Party), Tricia Cooper (The Royal Liechtenstein Comedy Theatre), Jacqueline Guertin (Winnipeg Burlesque) and Geoff Banjavich (Hey Happy) and is narrated by Michael O'Sullivan (Gorilla Trap).

A Fable About Beauty was written and directed by John Barnard.
