Girl Dad: Verona Night | My RODE Reel 2021
Bobby Jones
Logline: An American dad/daughter vacation trip to Verona, Italy takes an unexpected turn when they spend their first night separated and randomly meeting the families of William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”.
After the tragic death of Kobe Bryant & his daughter Gianna. Fathers and daughters across the world paid homage on social media celebrating their relationships by using the hashtag #GirlDad. The film title does the same by remembering the NBA legend who also partially grew up in Italy.

It took me a year to location scout, find/cast Italian teenagers, and find a local film company. That's not knowing if I would even be able to film given the always changing Covid restrictions, but with focus, determination and good luck I did it! Like famed director Woody Allen, I want to be known for writing and directing black films in an array of cities around the world making the audience want travel to these magical destinations.
