O, Brawling Love!

A FEATURE FILM FROM JPCATHOLIC

Two rival acting students are forced to reconcile their differences and play lovers Romeo and Juliet in their final school play, vying for a $25k cash prize.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

O, Brawling Love! is the inaugural project in JPCatholic’s Feature Film Program. Written by senior screenwriting student Bella Lake, the project was selected from a pool of nearly 50 story submissions from alumni and students.

After a lengthy pitching and story development process, the project was green-lit in February 2022. The film shoots in June 2022, with the crew composed mainly of students, alumni, and faculty.
