Nicely Entertainment and Canyon Productions have completed production on A Secret Royal Romance, which will be released as both a 16:9 movie and as a 9:16 vertical series.
Roberta Sparta, whose experience spans both traditional and vertical storytelling formats, directs the film, which was shot on location in Chandler, Oklahoma, with a cast that includes Alexandra Harris and Robert Palmer Watkins. Vanessa Shapiro, CEO of Nicely Entertainment, and Shawn Boskie, CEO of Canyon Productions, serve as EPs.
“We’re excited about A Secret Royal Romance and what it represents for the future of storytelling,” said Shapiro. “As viewing habits continue to evolve, projects that can live across both traditional and vertical platforms are becoming increasingly important. We’re proud to be exploring that space with this film and to partner on this project with the Canyon Productions team.”
“Partnering with Nicely Entertainment on this film has been a great experience,” added Boskie. “It’s a heartfelt story with strong performances and a fresh production approach. We’re thrilled to bring it to audiences and to be part of a project that pushes creative boundaries.”
