Zeitlin Prepares New Film

"Beasts of the Southern Wild" filmmaker Benh Zeitlin talked to The New York Times about his next film:

"The new film is about a young girl who gets kidnapped onto a hidden ecosystem where a tribal war is raging over a form of pollen that breaks the relationship between aging and time."

Once again a young girl is the focus of the action: "It follows a friendship-love story-adventure of her and a joyous, reckless, pleasure-mongering young boy as they swirl in and out of youth and as the ecosystem around them spirals toward destruction."

He adds that while he is developing the film, there are no start dates set.
