About Peter Beard
Born in New York City, Peter Beard he went on a life-changing trip to Africa as a teenager with Quentin Keynes, the great-grandson of Charles Darwin. He returned as a college student, and in lieu of completing his senior thesis at Yale he mailed in his diaries from Kenya. In the 60s Beard received a special dispensation from President Kenyatta to purchase Hog Ranch in Kenya with the mandate that he film, photograph, write, and document the local flora, fauna, and peoples. He has exhibited his photos internationally for decades – in 1996, Beard’s exhibition at the Centre National de la Photographie in Paris opened as the artist recovered from being trampled and speared in the leg by the tusk of an elephant.

Enjoy an Exclusive Premiere Screening of the New Robert Zemeckis film, The Witches plus Tamara Comolli Jewelry “The Witches,” a fantastical adventure from Oscar-winning director Robert Zemeckis (“Forrest Gump”), starring Oscar winners Anne Hathaway (“Les Misérable,” “Ocean’s 8”) and Octavia Spencer (“The Help,” “The Shape of Water”), Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci (“The Hunger Games” films, “The Lovely Bones”), and award-winning comedy legend Chris Rock. Reimagining Dahl’s beloved story for a modern audience, Zemeckis’s visually innovative “The Witches” tells the darkly humorous and heartwarming tale of a young orphaned boy (Bruno) who, in late 1967, goes to live with his loving Grandma (Spencer) in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis. The boy and his grandmother come across some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, so Grandma wisely whisks our young hero away to an opulent seaside resort. Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world’s Grand High Witch (Hathaway) has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe—undercover—to carry out her nefarious plans.
