Writer and director Brett Wagner invites us into a remote corner of West Texas with his drama The Big Bend. Two couples—long-time friends Mac and Georgia Talbott, Cory and Melanie Price—come together at the Talbott’s sprawling desert homestead for some respite from busy everyday lives. But out in the big, beautiful emptiness of Big Bend National Park, escape from life’s troubles may not come so easily.
Released in 2022 after making rounds of film festivals, The Big Bend transports us from bustling cities to a place where wandering the wilds without cell service or security feels as natural as the chaparral scenery. Out here, city slickers Cory, Melanie, and their girls find adventure and awe in the stark vastness. Yet the couple also carry secrets, and Mac and Georgia face troubles of their own. As tensions rise under the watchful indigo sky, a wrong turn onto an...

Writer/director Brett Wagner turns Big Bend National Park into a living, breathing character in the compelling drama, The Big Bend. The sense of disconnect from the world the landscape offers is the perfect backdrop for the story of two couples forced to confront issues within their marriages.
New Jerseyans Cory and Melanie Price, along with their two young daughters, head to West Texas to reconnect with old friends. The Talbotts live in Terlingua, Texas on the outskirts of Big Bend National Park, but it might as well be on the moon; the area feels alien to what the Prices are used to. It’s undeniably beautiful, but there are threats nearby (including carnivores and snakes) that the Price kids haven’t experienced before.
However, those outside threats aren’t first and foremost on the minds of either Cory and Melanie or Mac and Georgia Talbott. There are unsaid problems in both marriages,...

Almost three years ago, Maddie Price was at a doctor’s appointment for issues with her transplanted heart when a child life specialist at her Florida hospital proposed a new program. She would get a bead for every procedure, hospital visit and medical milestone.
“I was like, ‘Oh, this is kind of kiddish, I don’t want a bunch of beads, it’s not a big deal,'” recalls Maddie, now 16, of Palm Harbor, Florida. But after some encouragement from her dad, she gave it a try.
