Synopsis
Four young lovers go into the woods pursue their romantic desires but find their fantasies and secrets being used against them.
Cast
Production
The film was produced as a pilot for a planned hour-long anthology series[4] but the pilot was not picked up as a series.[5] Filming took place in Vancouver and elsewhere in British Columbia, Canada from October 31 to November 18, 2016. Liz Gateley, Executive Vice President and Head of Programming for Lifetime, stated that the intent was to develop "content that redefines what it means to be a Lifetime show."[4] The production received some media attention for booking Courtney Love in a role.[6][7][8]
Broadcast
The pilot was originally scheduled to premiere on July 28, 2017 but was then moved to July 14 and then again to July 31, when it ultimately aired.[5]
Reception
Reviewer Duane of the website Shakespeare Geek gave the film a negative review, doubting the existence of "any Shakespeare of note" in it.[9]
