The life story of Brian Epstein, the entrepreneurial Liverpudlian who discovered The Beatles, managed them to meteoric global superstardom, and died at 32, has not had a proper feature-film treatment… until now. With an absorbing lead performance by Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Midas Man shows how Epstein escaped his fate working in his family’s retail furniture business to help launch Beatlemania, changing the world of music forever.

“Brian deserves an honest film that celebrates everything he did and was. Through an honest film we can celebrate him without sugar coating the difficult subjects. An honest film can remind people what a society that oppresses people for who they are does on a personal level.” —Director Joe Stephenson
