Some of the most memorable movies I've seen, whether it's a drama, a sci-fi flick or a comedy, heve a strong sense of place and time. It's hard to imagine the 'Italian Stallion' living anywhere but 'Philly', as it's hard to ignore the perpetual gloom hanging over Sheffield that drives Gaz and crew to 'take off their kits' in financial desperation. In "Blade Runner", Ridley Scott's visual genius created a futuristic city so vivid that seemingly had a life of its own. In these films the backdrop of the stories serve more than just props: it's as if they have their own characters, playing their roles in giving the story form and shape.

Despite being written in Old English, William Shakespeare's plays have universal appeal. The morals and values depicted in the plot and the way he wrote in the scenes allowed for flexible interpretations within most cultures and religions.

Lomeo + Juliet puts Shakespeare's most famous tragic love story within a Malaysian context. Drawing inspiration from KL's Chinatown, "Lomeo + Juliet" is an urban love story, conflicted by gang rivalries, set in the unmistakable backdrop of a colorful but gritty Petaling Street.
