Inspired by William Shakespeare’s Romeo and
Juliet, Verona is the story of two young lovers separated
by their rival fraternities. Set in a small college
town wherein young men are groomed for corporate success
in All-American hyper competitive fashion, Verona
presents the fate of star-crossed lovers in a society
that condemns the very nature of their love.
Directed
by Laurie Lynd (BREAKFAST WITH SCOT), Verona features
star actors known from DeGrassi, All My Children,
The Best Years, Paradise Falls, Diary of a Wimpy Kid,
Queer As Folk, and more. This post-modern retelling
of the greatest love story ever told brings to light
the homophobic/homo-erotic dual nature of fraternity
life, its perks and perils.
VERONA
(The Short) was shot to pave the way for public, private
and corporate interest in a full-length feature currently
in pre-production. The project is one of passion for
all those involved, hoping to present the nature of
love in its truest form.
Development
and Pre-Production continues to move forward.
