‘Bring Me The Beauties: A Model Cult’
BRING ME THE BEAUTIES: A MODEL CULT chronicles Hoyt Richards, who, at 16 years old, meets an enigmatic Manhattan socialite on a Nantucket beach and is pulled into his spiritual group, Eternal Values. Soon after, Richards ascends to fame as one of the first male supermodels of the 1980s. Eternal Values, the cult-like group, and its larger-than-life leader Frederick von Mierers, leveraged the glamorous world of 1980s New York to prey upon a community of young models and professionals, seducing them with his New Age cocktail of metaphysical and spiritual teachings, and entangling them in a web of fabrication and exploitation.
The HBO Original documentary series unfolds across three episodes, releasing weekly.
Releasing on HBO Max UK on June 2.

THE WELCOME TABLE, directed by Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Josh Fox (Gasland), tells the story of climate refugees across six continents, celebrating the voices and experiences of people living at the forefront of the climate crisis, displaced from their homes by climate disasters. Featuring John Boutté, John Cameron Mitchell, and celebrated New Orleans musicians, the film weaves together stories of migration and resilience through music, performance, and the installation of a 1,000-foot table along the New Orleans levee, where communities gather in conversation, solidarity, and celebration.
The HBO Original documentary comes from filmmaker Josh Fox.
Releasing on HBO Max UK on June 24.
