The film is a New York-set romance that sees the lives of a prodigal graffiti artist and an upper east side socialite collide. As the former’s fame rises, his newfound love tries to protect him from the perils of success. “Brandon paints a modern tale of star-crossed lovers that feels both so familiar yet entirely contemporary,” said Stampede’s President of Production, Jon Berg. “Its focus on New York’s vibrant underground art world showcases Brandon’s authenticity and grittiness he brings as a lifelong New Yorker and a brilliant screenwriter. All of us here at Stampede are thrilled to be bringing this highly theatrical story to life.
Nice.
