WRITTEN & DIRECTED BY: Alan Brown (Book of Love, Superheroes)
2011 | USA | 98 min.
Winner of the Outstanding Cast Award at its world premiere at Outfest 2011 and starring Matt Doyle and Seth Numrich of the multi Tony Award-winning War Horse, PRIVATE ROMEO transports the greatest love story ever told into the sexually charged environment of a military high school.
Based on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, PRIVATE ROMEO incorporates the original text from the play, YouTube videos, and lip-synced indie rock music—taking us to a mysterious and tender place that only Shakespeare could have inspired.
From the Outfest Award Ceremony
“For bringing fresh life to a timeless love story and infusing each moment with a 21st century immediacy that balances naked passion with longing, and delivering it all with brilliant coherence, the Outfet 2011 Grand Jury Award for Outstanding Actor in a Feature Film goes to the entire cast of PRIVATE ROMEO.”
