Tempest, The

Synopsis: Independent feature film re-working The Tempest. ‘Prospero is homeless and plotting revenge against his thieving brother Antonio. Antonio’s conniving has made him a billionaire several times over and he’s hungry for more. Miranda’s pierced-a-plenty and still virginal, Ferdinand’s an African American young Republican who falls for her, Ariel’s a street-smart skatepunk and Caliban is off his meds and really pissed off! In the course of one day, revenge is set in motion and love is in the air. [publicity from Baseline Studio Systems].
