First Details, Trailer, and Poster for Romeo's Distress: "“Romeo's Distress” is a weird, quirky, genre-bending, piece of “no-budget” filmmaking. It is a Shakespearean, Gothic, Horror-Thriller that tells a story of a boy named James, his unrequited love for a girl named Jane, and her father’s sadistic (yet dutiful) response to it all.

If you like Monochrome, Shakespeare, John Waters, Edgar Allan Poe, Teenaged Angst, Gothic Cemeteries, Surrealism, Cheesecake, Grandmas, Ukeles, Carrots, Melon, And Grave Diggers then you will surely DIG Romeo!!!

    About the Author - Tamika Jones

    Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.

    The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
