Hopeless Romantic
Directed by: Deanne Foley, Latonia Hartery, Martine Blue, Megan Wennberg, Ruth Lawrence & Stephanie Clattenburg
At a wedding, Anna and 6 different women navigate through relationship adventures across an epic landscape of partners, emotions, risks and payoffs.
Hopeless Romantic is helmed by six women directors: Deanne Foley, Megan Wennberg, Latonia Hartery, Martine Blue, Ruth Lawrence, and Stephanie Clattenburg. The story consultant is Margaret Atwood. It is an anthology style piece and ‘an anti-romance, romance film’. We challenge the Hollywood concept of The One.
